    Speed at mountain route = 52 miles/hour

    Speed at highway route = 64 miles/hour

    Difference in speed = 12 miles/hour

    Difference in speed = 18.75 % greater than mountain route

    Step-by-step explanation:

    As we know the speed is given by

    Speed = Distance/time

    Albuquerque to New Mexico using mountain route:

    Speed = 312/6

    Speed = 52 miles/hour

    Albuquerque to New Mexico using highway route:

    Speed = 320/5

    Speed = 64 miles/hour

    Difference in speed:

    difference = 64 - 52 = 12 miles/hours

    difference = 12/64*100 = 18.75 %

    Therefore, Nella's speed at the highway route was 12 miles/hour greater than her speed at the mountain route.

    Nella's speed at the highway route was 18.75 % greater than the speed at mountain route.

    Her speed on the mountain route was 52 miles per hour.

    She travelled 12 miles per hour faster on the highway route.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Speed is given by distance : time taken

    On the mountain,

    distance = 312 miles

    time = 6 hours

    speed = 312 : 6 = 52 miles per hour

    On the highway,

    distance = 320 miles

    time = hours

    speed = 320 : 5 = 64 miles per hour

    This is greater than the mountain route speed by 64 - 52 = 12 miles per hour.
