To find the range, you subtract the smallest speed from the largest speed.
For Europe:
Largest speed: 91 mph
Smallest speed: 74 mph
Range = 91 - 74 = 17 mph
For North America:
Largest speed: 128 mph
Smallest speed: 85 mph
Range = 128 - 85 = 43 mph
Therefore, the range of the speeds of the fastest steel roller coasters in Europe is 17 mph and in North America is 43 mph.
