Greg is in a bike race. At mile marker four (out of ten), his speed was measured at 13.5 mph. Which best describes the measured number?

The measurement gives Greg’s speed at one specific point in the race: mile marker four. A speed measured at a particular instant or location is instantaneous speed. It does not describe his average over a stretch of the race, and speed does not include direction as velocity does.
