You can put this solution on YOUR website!
if it takes 18min to travel 3mil, speed is %283%2F18%29%28mil%2Fmin%29=1mil%2F6min
speed in one min is:1mil%2F6min=0.1666666666666667%28mil%2Fmin%29=0.17%28mil%2Fmin%29
you can also convert it in mph:

so, your speed is: 0.17%28mil%2Fmin%29 or 10%28mil%2Fh%29
