Velocity is measured in metres per second, to find how many metres a body has travelled you need t know the length of time it was moving for.
If a body moves at 10 metres per second for 5 seconds, how far does it travel?
It goes 10 metres every second, so in 5 seconds it must go 5 times 10 metres; 50 metres.
You need to multiply the velocity by the time taken. (m/s) X s = m.

How do you find the initial velocity given only the distance and the time traveled?
You can't. You need either the final velocity or the acceleration of the object as well, and then you can substitute the known values into a kinematics equation to get the initial velocity.
How do you find braking distance when given velocity and reaction distance?
Decrease ..
How do you find number of rotations given the diameter of a circle and the distance traveled?
Divide the distance traveled by the product of the diameter and pi.
How do you find a final velocity without distance but given time?
Without distance, you have to know time, initial velocity, and acceleration, in order to find final velocity.
How do you find velocity when given the time and mass?
You can't. The mass is irrelevant to velocity. You need the distance.
