7th-8th Grade- Speed Homework

Hello,
For those of you who didn't find a convenient car trip for this week's homework, use the following:
  1. Distance from school to home: 8.5 miles Time from school to home: 20 minutes Average speed:
  2. Slowest instantaneous speed: 0 mph Fastest instantaneous speed: 60 mph
  3. Write a sentence or two comparing the average speed to the instantaneous speeds. Were all three about the same? Why or why not?
