Displacement divided by time is VELOCITY. Definition of velocity is rate of change of displacement with respect to time. Suppose a object gets displaced by 5m in 2 seconds, its velocity will be5/2=2.5 m/s(m/s is its unit).It means that object will go 2.5m in 1 second. Let us take oone more example. Say a object has moved by 6m in 12 seconds, Its velocity will be:6/12=0.5m/s Means it will cover a distance of 0.5m in one second.

displacement+time divided by distance
(Angular displacement divided by 360 degrees or pi radians)/(Time measured in minutes)
Displacement over time is velocity - distance over time is speed.The reason is that:Displacement is a vector quantity (has a direction as well as a magnitude), whereas speed is a scalar quantity (has no direction, only magnitude).
Velocity is displacement divided by time. Displacement is different from distance traveled, as displacement states how far you traveled in RELATION to a starting point. The formula for Velocity is ---- v = x / t v = Velocity x = Displacement t = Time velocity is a vector quantity so the direction should also be specified unless it is implicit in the problem. ----
That's a peculiar question. I'd call that the 'effective average speed', or the 'apparent average speed'.
