How to filter to view only HTTP requests?

Hi all, I have been given the following homework. My teacher was not very clear about using wireshark, which has led to confusion on my end. We are using an online virtual machine. The questions is as follows: "Using wireshark_setup.pcapng, filter the packets to view only HTTP requests. What is the source IP address shown on the last packet?"

It is safe to say i am quite confused about whats going on, any help would be appreciated!

Thanks in advance :D

Are you able to open the capture file in the gui?

Then filter the packet with a display filter:

If you want to only show HTTP requests, you can use the filter http. After starting a capture, type http into the display filter box.
