    Take the total distance divided by the time.If you travel 200 miles in four hours divide 200 by 4 and your average speed is 50 mph.

    Average speed = total distance divided by total time.

    Let r = average speed

    Let D = total distance

    Let t = total time

    Here's your formula:

    r = D/t
