Explanation
Choice C is correct. It’s given that d is the distance, in miles, Marisol traveled after driving for t hours. Therefore, 45 represents the distance in miles traveled per hour, which is the speed she drove in miles per hour.
Choice A is incorrect and may result from misidentifying speed as the number of trips. Choice B is incorrect and may result from misidentifying speed as the total distance. Choice D is incorrect and may result from misidentifying the speed as the time, in hours.
