14.75mph

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Distance traveled = 177miles

Time of arrival in Dallas = 12hours

Unknown:

Average speed = ?

Solution:

The average speed is the total distance covered divided by time taken for the entire travel.

It is the rate of change of distance with time.

Average speed = $\frac{Total distance}{time taken}$

since total distance traveled = 177miles, time of arrival = 12hrs

Average speed = $\frac{177}{12}$ = 14.75mph
