Answer:

b

Explanation:

<em>The average speed of an object is the sum of the distance traveled by the object relative to the total time taken to cover the distance</em>. In other words,

<em>Average speed = total distance traveled/total time taken</em>

In this case, the total distance traveled by the runner = 26.2 miles while the total time taken = 3 hours and 15 minutes

60 minutes = 1 hour

15 minutes = 0.25 hours, hence

3 hours 15 minutes = 3.25 hours

Average speed = 26.2/3.25

                          = 8.0615 miles/hour

                            = 8.1 miles/hour

<em>The correct option is b.</em>
