Over spring break, you plan on going on a road trip to Palm Springs with your friends Abel and Oren. Before you go, you want to plan whose car (Abel's or Oren's) and which route (Route A or Route B) to take. Answer the questions below using Python to perform all the intermediate calculations such as adding, squaring, and dividing.

Question 3.1. First, you need to decide on the route. You plan to take the route for which the average speed is faster.
For Route A, you will have to take 3 freeways, each with a different speed limit. Below is a table showing the speed limits (which we will assume is the speed you will travel at) and the time you will have to spend on each freeway on Route A.
Freeway Speed Limit (miles per hour) Time (hours)
I-5703
CA-73552
CA-133451
Using this information, calculate the average speed, in miles per hour, if you take Route A, and assign your answer to the variable route_A. Recall from math and physics that the average speed is the total distance driven divided by the total time taken.
