Acceleration = [ (final velocity) - (initial velocity) ] / (time elapsed)
Make sure you have "like" units. In this case, convert the 2.5 min to hrs and plug everything into the equaiton.

a = [450km/hr - 900 km/hr]/2.5 minutes
a = [-450km/hr]/2.5 minutes
a= [-450km/hr]/0.416 hrs
a = -10817.31km/hr2
is that correct?
