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.
- Identify the total distance: From the graph, it looks like Kerri drove a total distance of 275 miles.
- 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.
