Because distance/time = the speed at which 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.
Speed = Distance / Time
Distance and time do not, in general, affect the speed. Speed, however, can affect distance or time. Distance is directly proportional to speed, time is inversely proportional.
In general, we will find the average speed of a moving object by dividing the total distance it travels by the total time elapsed in its travel.We can find the actual speed of the object if it moves with a constant speed during all of its travel. But if the object is something like a bus or train that makes stops along the way, we discover its average speed by dividing the total distance it travels by the total time it took to travel that distance.
