Speed is a combination of the distance travelled in a given amount of time.
You can use any unit of distance and any unit of time. Choosing the units most applicable to the situation.
Most people are familiar with the units miles or kilometres per hour. Feet or metres per second.
Light speed is usually measured in kilometres or miles per second.
The growth of a stalagmite may be measured in inches per century

How can you get speed of an object from its distance-time graph?
The speed is the slope of the curve in such a graph.
What is your speed if you travel 10 kilometers in 2.5 hours?
As speed is ratio of distance and time...therefore upon calculating, you will get speed of 4 Km per hour.
How does a softball player use math?
By calculating the the speed and the amount of power you put into hitting the ball will determine the distance the ball will travel
What are the three formulas for the speed triangle?
Speed = Distance/TimeTime = Distance/SpeedDistance = Speed*TimeSpeed = Distance/TimeTime = Distance/SpeedDistance = Speed*TimeSpeed = Distance/TimeTime = Distance/SpeedDistance = Speed*TimeSpeed = Distance/TimeTime = Distance/SpeedDistance = Speed*Time
What equation represents the relationship between the time and distance you walk at a constant rate and what are the dependent and independent variables?
At a constant rate: distance = time x speed Since you are calculating the distance based on the other two numbers, I would say that distance is the dependent variable (it is based on the values of the other variables).
