Without going into all the fine points about the difference between speed and velocity, speed is generally assumed to be the distance travelled in a unit of time. As an example if you travel 120 feet in 60 minutes you travel at a speed of 120 ft/60 min = 2 ft/min. The assumption (looking at the answer) is that you travelled at the same rate every minute. However in the real world you may have gone 119 feet in 1 minute and spent the remaining 59 minutes traveling the last foot. Spped is therefor the average rate you conered the distance in the total time elapsed.

What is distance traveled in a given amount of time?
A speed. If the direction is relevant, a velocity.
What is distance traveled divided by the time needed to travel the distance or speed?
Distance/time = speed
What is the formula for distance traveled?
distance traveled = speed multiplied by time taken.
If you know your speed and the time traveled you can find the what?
you can find the distance when you know your speed and the time you traveled
What is the distance traveled by an object divided by the time in which the distance was traveled without identifying the direction traveled?
Speed describes the distance traveled by an object divided by the time in which the distance was traveled, if the direction is not specified.
What measures distance traveled in a given time interval?
Speed
What is distance traveled in a given amount of time?
A speed. If the direction is relevant, a velocity.
How do you calculate distance if you are given time and speed?
Speed=Distance(time) So you would plug in what you know and solve so if your speed is 5 and your time is ten you have traveled 10 units
The amount of distance traveled in a given amount of time measures what?
(change in distance) divided by (time interval) = the object's average speed during that time interval.
What is the formula for speed and acceleration?
formula for speed is distance traveled over time taken to cover distance acceleration is given by change in velocity per unit time
Is speed the distance that has been traveled?
No. The average speed would be the distance traveled divided by the elapsed time.
What is distance traveled divided by the time needed to travel the distance or speed?
Distance/time = speed
What is the formula for distance traveled?
distance traveled = speed multiplied by time taken.
If you know your speed and the time traveled you can find the what?
you can find the distance when you know your speed and the time you traveled
What is the difference between actual speed and average speed?
Actual speed is the speed you are traveling at any given moment at any given point. Average speed is figured by dividing the distance you traveled by the time it took you to drive that distance.
What is the distance traveled over a given time interval?
That is called speed, or - if the direction is also relevant - velocity.
What is the distance traveled by an object divided by the time in which the distance was traveled without identifying the direction traveled?
Speed describes the distance traveled by an object divided by the time in which the distance was traveled, if the direction is not specified.
