The basic definition of speed is: speed = distance / time Solve this equation for distance, or solve it for time, to get two additional versions of the equation.
speed = distance/time
Speed=distance/time. Speed is in meters per second if distance is in meters, and time is in seconds. Using simple algebra, the equation can be rearranged to solve for a missing variable (speed, distance, or time). therefore: distance=speed x time time= distance/speed
Speed is defined as distance covered per unit of time, so distance divided by speed equals time. For example, if you are travelling for 200 miles at a speed of 60 miles per hour, 200 miles/60 mph = three and a third hours.
D= Distance S= Speed T= Time Speed = Distance/Time Distance = Speed x Time Time Taken = Distance/Speed
