Did you ever hear that the average speed V = Distance%2FTime ??

So, all you need to do is to divide the distance (miles) by the time (hours).

O, yes, you still need to convert 3 hours 33 min = 3 33%2F60 = 3 11%2F20 = 71%2F20 hours.

Now divide 2850 by 71%2F20 and get the answer in miles per hour.

Happy calculations !
