Which is an example of speed?

Answer
A
Leo lives 2 miles north of Andre.
B
A dog runs an average of 8 mph .
C
Cindy biked westward at 30 kilometers per hour .
D
A rock is to the left of a flowerpot.

Explanation

Speed tells how fast something moves, without specifying a direction. The dog’s average speed is 8 miles per hour, so choice B is an example of speed. Choice C includes “westward,” a direction, so it describes velocity instead.
