Answer:

25 mph

Explanation:

The formula for speed is s = d/t.

s - speed

d - distance

t - time

For your problem, 375 mi is the distance and 15 hrs is the time. When you divide 375/15, you get an answer of 25. The unit of measure is miles per hour or mph. In the end, Taylor's speed is 25 mph. Hope this helps!!
