Answer:

2 miles per minute

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate speed, you can use the formula:


\[ \text{Speed} = \frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Time}} \]

In this case, Sarah's speed is the distance she drives divided by the time it takes. Given that she drives 10 miles in 5 minutes:


\[ \text{Speed} = \frac{10 \, \text{miles}}{5 \, \text{minutes}} \]

Simplify that:


\[ \text{Speed} = 2 \, \text{miles per minute} \]

So, Sarah's speed is 2 miles per minute. If you have more questions or if there's anything else I can help you with, feel free to ask!
