Okay, I presume you mean how many miles per hour?
Well there are 5280 feet in a mile.
And there are 3600 seconds in an hour (60 * 60).
Therefore it's a ratio:
628/4 = x/3600
4x = 628 * 3600 = 2260800
4x = 2260800
Divide both sides by 4
x = 565,200
Therefore, that "something" is travelling at a speed of 565,200 miles per hour.

Average velocity equals distance over time so...
Vavg= d/t
