    How do I work out average speed
    How do I work out my average speed? In miles an hour? Point to point is 49.7 Miles & we took 43.46 minuets to complete the distance. What is the average speed & what is the formula used to work it out?

    I'm going to make you think a little bit. Speed has units of miles per hour or miles per unit time. By dividing 49.7 miles by 43.minutes the answer will be in:

    Miles/minute which is a unit of speed.

    You need the units in miles per hour. How?
