Answer 1

To determine Kerri's speed, we need to find out the total distance she drove and the total time she spent driving from the graph.

1. **Identify the total distance**: From the graph, it looks like Kerri drove a total distance of 275 miles.
2. **Identify the total time**: From the graph, it seems like Kerri took 5 hours to cover that distance.

Now, we can use the formula for speed:

\[
\text{Speed} = \frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Time}}
\]

Plugging in the values:

\[
\text{Speed} = \frac{275 \text{ miles}}{5 \text{ hours}} = 55 \text{ miles per hour}
\]

So, Kerri's speed is **55 miles per hour**.
