speed = distance/time

It's 1297 miles from New York City to Miami so

speed = (1297mi/3s)= 432.3 mi/s

or in mi/hr

speed = (1297mi/3s)(60s/1min)((60min/1hr)=
1556400 mi/hr

Fast.

Miami to Manhattan is 1100 miles as the sleigh flies.

(1100 miles/3 seconds) * (3600 sec/hour)= 1,320,000 miles per hour
