Answer:

The speeds are called average because they are a calculation of a course of distance divided by a duration of time.

Explanation: Instantaneous speed is when the speed is instant for instance when driving a car and if you would want to check how fast that you are moving you would instantly look at the speedometer that is what we call instantaneous speed
