    The speed of sound at T=25°C is Vs=346 m/s. So the sound has to reach the cliff and return back to you so the path it needs to travel is s=2*440 m = 880 m.

    Since the speed of sound is constant s=Vs*t, and t = s/Vs=880/346=2.54335 s. You will hear the echo after t=2.54335 s after you shouted.
