Ok since 2.5 hours travels 312.5 miles, half of 2.5 hours will be 156.25 miles. Half of 2.5 hours will be 1.25, so it has to be greater than C or D. The average rate is 0.08. And the sum will be very long and I did the math and i believe that the answer can't end without a decimal so I highly recommend that the answer is B
