How do you figure out miles per hour?

Answer 1

You divide the distance traveled by the number of hours it took to travel it. For example, a 500-mile trip completed in 10 hours = 500 / 10 = an average of 50 miles per hour.

Answer 2

To figure out miles per hour, divide the total number of miles traveled by the total number of hours it took to travel those miles. This will give you the average speed in miles per hour.
