Sagot :

Answer:

C. 25 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

First, find his speed in miles per hour:

250/2.5

= 100

This means he was going 100 mph

To find how much he was going over, subtract 75 from this

100 - 75

= 25

So, he was going 25 mph over the speed limit

The correct answer is C, 25 mph
