Given:
speed: 8 mph
time traveled: 3 hours
distance?

Average Speed = Distance Traveled / Time Traveled
8 mph = distance / 3 hours
8 mph * 3 hours = distance 
24 miles = distance of house to park.

time traveled = 2 hours
average speed = 24 miles / 2 hours
average speed = 12 mph

The clue that would help solve his word problem is B.) CHAN ROWS FROM HIS HOUSE TO THE PARK.
