You divide the speed by the distance and divide the time unit by the result
If I travel 10 miles at 30 miles an hour,
30 ÷ 10 = 3
One hour divided by 3 = 20 minutes
It took me 20 minutes to travel 10 miles if I went t 30 mph
-Speed is defined as distance divided by time, thus meters/second. therefore, speed = distance / time. given speed and distance, it's a simple algebraic problem by putting in the values for speed and distance, for example 10m/s for speed and 10m for distance. that makes 10=10/time. Some simple distribution gives you time = 1, which is true given that you go 10m in one second while going 10m per second.

How calculate speed from time and distance?
Speed = distance divided by time
What is the equation used to calculate the distance something travels?
The equation used to calculate the distance something travels is given below . we know, speed = distance /time . distance = speed X time in meters /km /or any other unit of length.
How to calculate speed of car from distance and time?
Speed = Distance divided by Time
How do you calculate time when you are given speed and distance?
distance divided by speed is equal to time traveled. Example--Distance: 350mph--Speed: 60mph 350 miles divided by 60 miles per hour(mph) equals 5.833 hours
How do you calculate exact speed?
You can calculate a speed by dividing a distance by the time it takes to cover that distance. If you want the instantaneous speed (for situations of variable speed), you need to calculate the distance and time for a fairly short time interval (ideally, the limit, when the time approaches zero).
