Given information:

Distance (d) = 50 miles

To determine:

The effect on speed as time increases

Explanation:

Speed can be defined as the ratio of the distance (d) traveled to the time (t) taken to cover that distance

Speed = distance/time -----(1)

In the given example since the distance is fixed an increase in the time of the trip will increase the denominator in equation(1) thereby decreasing the speed.

Ans (B) It decreases
