Are there two ways of calculating the average kinetic energy of a molecule?
Ik that 1/2mv^2 works
but for this problem, i don't know the mass or the velocity....

Use temperature.
instead of what?
average KE of a molecule is a function of temperature, that relation is in your book. The exact function depends on the type of molecule.
The question is calculate the average kinetic energy of CH4 molecules in a sample of CH4 gas at 263K. What formula should i use when you say "use temp"
