mathmale · Answer

Have a look at units of measurement first:   miles = (miles per hour) (hours).  We want "speed," in miles per hour.  Divide distance (miles) by time (hours).

Thus, divide 32 miles by 2 1/3 hours.  Don't leave off the units of measurement!

It might be.  But...you cannot justify using that many decimal places, and you MUST include the units of measurement.
