Explanation:

Answer 2

Option A. 1 mile per minute.

Explanation:

Brandon has traveled after the specified period of time. The table shows his covered distance in a specific time.

Minutes 0 5 10 15 20 25

Miles 0 3 7 12 17 21

In this question we have to calculate speed per minute in between 15 and 20 minutes.

As we can see in the table from 15 to 20 minutes, he traveled :

17 - 12 = 5 miles Time taken = 20 - 15 = 5 minutes

Speed =
`(distance)/(time)`

S =
`(5)/(5)` = 1 mile per minute.

Option A) 1 mile per minute
