To find Felicia's speed in miles per hour, we need to divide the total distance she travels by the time it takes her to travel that distance.

In this case, Felicia rides her bike for 4 hours to cover a distance of 56 miles. So, to find her speed, we divide the distance (56 miles) by the time (4 hours):

Speed = Distance / Time

Therefore, Felicia's speed is:

Speed = 56 miles / 4 hours = 14 miles per hour

Therefore, her speed is 14 miles per hour.
