    18.33 mph

    Explanation:

    The average speed of an object is defined as the total distance traveled by the object divided by the total time taken to cover the distance.

    Average speed = total distance traveled/total time taken

    Also, the speed of an object is defined as the distance covered by the object within a specific period.

    Speed = distance/time.

    Hence, speed of the journey = 55 = distance/2

    Distance covered = 55 x 2 = 110 miles

    Total time from 6 AM to 12 noon = 6 hours

    Average speed = 110/6

    = 18.33 mph

    The average speed over the time interval from 6 AM to noon is 18.33 mph.
