Explanation:

Step1: Recall velocity formula

Velocity $v=\frac{d}{t}$, where $d$ is distance and $t$ is time.

Step2: Identify values

$d = 2451$ miles, $t=4.75$ hr.

Step3: Calculate velocity magnitude

$v=\frac{2451}{4.75}\approx516$ mph.
Since the direction from Los - Angeles to New York is approximately east - ward, the velocity is 516 mph E.
