Answer:

The average speed here is 60 mph.

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to express the unit rate here.  That's the speed, which is defined as (distance) / (time):

                       1 mile

speed s(t) = ----------------

                       t (min)

We need to convert the unit of time (min) to the new unit of time (hrs):

                       1 mile           60 min

speed s(t) = --------------- * -------------- = 60 miles/hr = 60 mph

                       t (min)             1 hr

The average speed here is 60 mph.  This is not dependent on time, t, so we cannot calculate s(10) or s(12).  Because of this, s(t) = 60 mph.  The distance traveled in t hours is d(t) = s(t)*t.
