Answer:i think its 20 mph north

Explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

The correct answer is the option d: We do not have enough information.

Explanation:

Hello!

Let's solve this!

To calculate the speed we need the distance traveled and the time it takes to travel it.

The speed formula is

v = x2-x1 / t2-t1

x2: final position

x1: initial position

t2: final time

t1: initial time

In the case of this problem, we have the distance traveled, but we have no time in any case.

After the analysis, we conclude that the correct answer is the option d: We do not have enough information.
