Write a function that models the following description: A man drove a total of 40 miles over a 2-hour period. (1 point)

1 answer

Let's assume the function is named "calculate_speed".

The function will take two arguments: distance and time.

The input for distance will be 40 miles, and the input for time will be 2 hours.

So, the function definition will look like this:

```python
def calculate_speed(distance, time):
```

To calculate the speed, we'll use the formula speed = distance / time.

```python
def calculate_speed(distance, time):
speed = distance / time
return speed
```

Now, let's test the function with the given inputs:

```python
distance = 40
time = 2

result = calculate_speed(distance, time)
print("Speed:", result, "miles/hour")
```

Output:
Speed: 20.0 miles/hour

So, the function "calculate_speed" models the given description and returns the speed at which the man drove.
