To find Tara's average speed, we can use the formula:
\[
\text{Average Speed} = \frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Time}}
\]
In this case, the distance is 17.5 miles and the time is 0.5 hours. Plugging in the values:
\[
\text{Average Speed} = \frac{17.5 \text{ miles}}{0.5 \text{ hours}} = 35 \text{ MPH}
\]
So, Tara's average speed on the trip is **35 MPH**.
\[
\text{Average Speed} = \frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Time}}
\]
In this case, the distance is 17.5 miles and the time is 0.5 hours. Plugging in the values:
\[
\text{Average Speed} = \frac{17.5 \text{ miles}}{0.5 \text{ hours}} = 35 \text{ MPH}
\]
So, Tara's average speed on the trip is **35 MPH**.
