To solve this problem, first we have to substitute our integers in for our variables in the equation we are using.

d/t = 100 miles/8 hours

Then, we have to simplify the integer equation.

100 miles/8 hours = 12.5 miles per hour

This means that Shella traveled at an average speed of 12.5 mph on her bike trip.
