The correct distinction between instantaneous speed and average speed is:

**Instantaneous speed is the speed of an object at a specific time, but average speed is the total distance over the total time.**

Instantaneous speed measures how fast an object is moving at a particular moment, while average speed is calculated by taking the total distance traveled and dividing it by the total time taken for that journey.
