Answer

Olga had the fastest average speed.

Work Step by Step

In order to find average speed, we divide the total distance traveled by the amount of time it took to travel that distance. Thus, we obtain: Trisha: 10km/2.5hours=4 km per hour Olga: 9.5km/2.25hours=4.22 km per hour Jason: 7.5km/2hours=3.75km per hour Thus, we find that Olga had the fastest average speed.
