To find Tara's average speed, we can use the formula:

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

Given that Tara drives 17.5 miles to work and that the trip takes 0.5 hours, we can calculate her average speed as follows:

\[
\text{Average Speed} = \frac{17.5 \text{ miles}}{0.5 \text{ hours}} = 35 \text{ MPH}
\]

Therefore, Tara's average speed on this trip is **35 MPH**.
