Calculate Mph

Its simple math.
Distance / time = speed.
100 miles in 1 hour is 100 mph.
100 miles in 2 hours is 50 mph.

Speed is a ratio of the distance you travel and the time it took to get to you destination.Of course only average speed can be calculated if you moved at different speeds during the trip.If you know the distance in miles and how many hour of travel took place the ratio would be in MPH.

Divide the distance by the time.
You went 60 miles in 0.5 hours = 60/.5 = 120 mph

Good old formula...
Distance equals Rate X Time
in your case,
Rate (same as speed) equals Distance / Time

RE:
how do you calculate your speed (MPH) if you know your time and distance?

Convert your time into hours. Example 1 hour 30 minutes = 1.5 hours
Convert your distance into miles.
Divide your distance by your time. Miles/Hour...

Three steps:
1) change your time measurement into hours (if it is not already)
2) change your distance measurement into miles (if it is not already)
3) divide your distance (in miles) by the time (in hours).

The units are your clue.
Miles per hour = Miles/Hour = # of miles divided by # of hours.
The ol' standard equation they make us learn in school is "Distance equals rate times time." ( s=vt ) You can use algebra to rearrange this one for any one missing variable, given the other two.
