We are given a set of data of distance and time. To determine the speed we need to remember that the speed is definer as follows:


\text{speed}=(di\tan ce)/(time)

Therefore, we need to find the difference in distance for any two values and divide that by the corresponding difference in time. Let's take the first two values, we get:


\text{speed}=(162.5-65)/(2.5-1)

Solving the operations:


\text{speed}=(97.5)/(1.5)=65

Therefore, the speed is 65 miles/hour.
