Answer: objects A and B have the same speed.

Step-by-step explanation:

Speed = distance divided by time.

Object A: 65 miles in 13 minutes

Speed (A) = 65 miles divided by 13 minutes

Speed (A) = 5 miles per minute

Object B: 125 miles in 25 minutes

Speed (B) = 125 miles divided by 25 minutes

Speed (B) = 5 miles per minute

Thus, objects A and B have the same speed.
