Is what units is speed expressed?

The official unit for speed is meters/second. Any other combination of units, where you divide distance/time, may also be used. One such unit that is commonly used is kilometers/hour. Some units used for speed don't explicitly reference distance and time; for example, a certain fraction of the speed of light in a vacuum, or the unit called "knots" which is used for ships.

What units are used to measure avg speed?

Any speed is distance covered/time to cover the distance .Whenever you calculate a speed using this definition, the answer you getis the average speed during the time it took to cover the distance.The same units are used to describe any speed, whether it's average orinstantaneous speed.(any unit of length)/(any unit of time) is a perfectly good unit of speed.
