That depends on that data you have.
If you have a start and finish time, and the overall distance then you divide the distance in miles (or other units) by the number of hours and you'll get miles per hour.
If I leave home at 07:15 and get to work at 9:00, having travelled 6.5 miles then I have an average speed of 6.5 / 1.75 = 3.71 mph. (but that's enough about the Dublin bus service!)If you have two or more different speeds, and the length of time each was travelled then you wan work out the overall distance and the overall time, and proceed as above.

How can you calculate average speed from a distance -time graph?
Speed is distance divided by time so pick the section you want to work out the average for, work out how much distance has been traveled in that section and divide it by how much time has passed for that section.
When average velocity and average speed is equal?
For the instantaneous value of average velocity, average speed and average velocity are equal.
What is the formula to find the average speed of a given distance and time?
Distance = time * average speed (velocity) Average speed = Distance/time
If a car travels 200miles in 5hours what is the average speed?
40 MPH is the average speed
A jet travels 5400 miles in 9 hours Its average speed is?
Average speed = Distance/Time Average speed = 5400/9 = 600 mph
How do you work out driving time?
Divide the distance by the average speed.
How can you calculate average speed from a distance -time graph?
Speed is distance divided by time so pick the section you want to work out the average for, work out how much distance has been traveled in that section and divide it by how much time has passed for that section.
When are speed and average speed the same?
Average speed is an average value of speed over a given time. If your speed is constant (not changing), then your average speed will equal your speed at any given moment in time.
How long does it take to travel 300 miles by car?
It depends on your average speed. If the roads permit an average speed of 60mph, it would take you 5 hours. To work it out (using T=D/S): Time (hours) = 300 miles divided by average speed (mph)
Is average speed the same as speed?
Average Speed is different from average speed becoz speed is particular while avera speed is the total distance divided from time
How do you find the average speed of an object?
Average distance ______________ = Average Speed Average time
When Julie travels 5 hours to and from work everyday Her average rate of speed to work is 18 miles per hour and her average rate of speed returning is 12 miles per hour How far is it from her home to?
Her time to work is 2 hours and return is 3 hours. The distance is 36 miles.
Average speed is indicated on the speedometer?
I would call it current speed, not average speed.
How would you find the average speed if the person went 3 different speeds in a length of 5 hours?
You need to work out how far they travelled at each speed (distance = speed x time) then add all three distances together to get a total and divide by 5 hours to get the average speed
Formula for average speed?
average speed = distance / time
What is the difference between instantaneous speed and average speed?
Instantaneous speed is the speed at a particular moment in time.The average speed of an object tells you the (average) rate at which it covers distance
What is the speed of a car that travels 240 km in 6 hours?
To work this out just divide the distance travelled by the time taken. In this case the answer is an average speed of 40kph.
