Speed in physics is called velocity what you are looking for when you are talking about speed/velocity you are looking for an answer with the units being "distance/time" such as "miles/hour" in this case you are using the distance measurement of meters and the time unit of seconds therefore you want an answer in "meters/second." Ergo, you divide the unit of distance by time so it would be "45 meters/5 seconds" which would simplify to "9 meters/second" where the symbol "/" can be pronounce as "per" so it could be written "9 meters per second"

I hope you did just get the answer, but rather some of the thought process of the issue.
