Best Answer

Since speed is expressed in terms of distance and time (e.g., miles per hour or feet per second), average speed is derived by dividing the distance traveled by the amount of time taken to travel that distance. For example, if it take 4 hours to travel 200 miles, average speed = 200 mi/4 hrs = 50 miles per hour.
