To find the speed of the motorcycle, we can calculate the unit rate (speed) by dividing the total distance traveled by the total time taken.

The motorcycle travels 300 miles in 4 hours.

Speed = Distance / Time
Speed = 300 miles / 4 hours = 75 miles per hour.

Now, we compare this speed to the speed limit of 65 miles per hour:

75 miles per hour (motorcycle speed) is greater than 65 miles per hour (speed limit).

Therefore, the answer is:

C. Faster than
