To find the average speed needed to complete the trip, you can use the formula:
\[
\text{Average Speed} = \frac{\text{Total Distance}}{\text{Total Time}}
\]
In this case, the total distance is 220 miles, and the total time is 4 hours.
Substituting the values into the formula, we get:
\[
\text{Average Speed} = \frac{220 \text{ miles}}{4 \text{ hours}} = 55 \text{ miles per hour}
\]
So, the average speed needed to make the trip in the desired time is **55 miles per hour**.
\[
\text{Average Speed} = \frac{\text{Total Distance}}{\text{Total Time}}
\]
In this case, the total distance is 220 miles, and the total time is 4 hours.
Substituting the values into the formula, we get:
\[
\text{Average Speed} = \frac{220 \text{ miles}}{4 \text{ hours}} = 55 \text{ miles per hour}
\]
So, the average speed needed to make the trip in the desired time is **55 miles per hour**.
