Speed or velocity define as "the traveled distance in one hour or in one minute"
so if you travel 2200 miles in 5.5 hrs lets find what distance did you traveled in 1 hour? It's just a simple math :
= >>> 400 miles in one hour
that means:
you traveled 400 miles each hour (So, for 5.5 hrs it was 2200 miles displacement)
