In Physics and Mathematics; d represents distance, t represents time and s represents speed.

d/t = s

This means the distance divided by time equals speed.

So, for example, I am traveling in my car and the distance from A to B is 100 metres. If it takes me 3000 seconds to get there, I have travelled at a speed of 0.03... metres per second (ms^-1).

(100/3000=0.0333333...)

We use standed units, such as seconds, when using calculations.

How do you determine how long it takes to run a particular distance when running at a particular mph?

I think the correct formula 4 that is [s=d\t], or speed equals distance over (divided by) time. Or the formula for velocity which is the same formula except it's V=d/t which is velocity equals distance divided by time, and you must to include a specific direction in your answer (EX: south, east, north, west, northwest, ect.). If you need to find out how long it takes to do something or the time it will take, then u slightly change the formula and do T=d\s, or time equals distance divided by average speed (or speed). Hope this helps a bit!

Does t equals ds or t equals d divided by s?

If t is for time, d is for distance and s is for speed, then the second version in the question is correct: t = d/s .If you forget, here is a way to work it out. Speed always has units of distance divided by time, as in "miles per hour", or "meters per second", so the units obeythe equation: speed units equals distance units divided by time units,or s = d / t , in italics to show the letters refer to units, like "a mile" or "a second".To convert the units equation to the t = d/s form using algebra rules, multiply bothsides of s = d / t by t, leaving st = dt / t , but t/t = 1, hence st = d1 , st=d, because 1 times any number just leaves that same number: 1x5=5, and 1 x leventyleven = leventyleven , if leventyleven is a number in a number systemfor which 1 is a unit. Cancellation is not something trivial. It is worthwhile toexplain why it works. Finally, st = d becomes t = d/s by division by s and cancellation, on the left side this time.
