You travel 1.78 km per hour. I came up with this by takin 190 and multiplying it by 24(the amount of hours in a day). Then, I divided that by 2557 and came up with 1.78.
What it is asking for is a distance over time in HOURS. 
It isn't specific about the distance units so, we can assume km is OKAY to use!

Now we need to convert 190 days to hours. Let's set up some conversion factors. 

1 Day = 24 Hours

[tex] \frac{190 days}{1} * \frac{24 hours}{1 day} [/tex]

I recommend setting up conversions like the way I did above. To do so simply make the units cancel out. Similar to how 3/3 cancel out, units also cancel out in the same way. So when you are trying to figure out whether or not you divide or multiply by the conversion factor simply use this method. Say we had 190 hours, the hours unit would need to be on the bottom, and the days on top. It'd be 1/24, thus you would divide by 24. 

[tex] \frac{190 days}{1} * \frac{24 hours}{1 day} [/tex] = 4560 hours.

Now what it is asking for his a rate of distance per hour. This rate is also called speed. Remember in the statement it said how far per hour. Meaning when dividing the units should look like this: [tex] \frac{km}{hour} [/tex]

[tex] \frac{2557km}{4560hour} [/tex] = 0.5607[tex] \frac{km}{hour} [/tex]

The answer is: 
0.5607[tex] \frac{km}{hour} [/tex]
