You would multiply to find the average meters/minute. 140 x 5.0 = 700. But, if you're looking for average m/s you would divide. 140/5 = 28. If you want meters/hour, you have to multiply the average meters/minute by 60. 140 x 5 x 60 = 4,200.
I'm not sure which one you're looking for but I hope something I wrote helps!
