Answer:

110 miles per hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that Frosty the Snowman left Nashport at 11:00 AM and arrived to Maine and arrives at 8:00 PM, traveling 985 miles to reach his destination, to determine what was his speed during the entire journey the following calculation must be performed:

8:00 PM = 20:00

20 - 11 = 9

985/9 = X

109.44 = X

Thus, the speed of Frosty the Snowman, rounded to the nearest tenth, was 110 miles per hour.
