Answer:

The semi-trailer truck has the fastest average speed

Explanation:

Let's recall that the formula of the average speed is:

Average speed = Distance/Speed

Now, we can calculate the average speed for each class of vehicle, as follows:

Flatbed truck average speed = 144/5 = 28.8 miles per hour

Semi-trailer truck average speed = 327/4 = 81.75 miles per hour

Tanker truck average speed = 589/15 = 39.27 miles per hour

Which truck has the fastest average speed?

The semi-trailer truck has the fastest average speed
