A student ran eight laps, thus two miles, on the track around her school's football field. She ran in a clockwise direction. She completed the distance in fifteen minutes.
----------------
Her average speed was 2 miles/15 minutes = 2/15 mi/minute
Velocity is a vector that includes direction, not the same as speed.
Her direction varied, so velocity can't be specified.
-----------
To find miles per minute, divide the miles by the minutes.
Convert to any units you like.
