===Meaning===

[[File:sdtTriangle.png|right|300px|thumb|This equation triangle shows how to rearrange the equation to find speed, distance or time. To find speed cover over the s to find it is d/t. To find distance cover over the d to find it is s x t. To find time cover over t to find it is d/s.]]

:<math>Speed = {\frac{distance}{time}} </math> is an equation which can be used to calculate the [[speed]] of an [[object]] given the [[distance]] traveled and the [[time]] taken to travel that [[distance]].

===About Speed=Distance/Time===

: The [[unit]]s of [[speed]] are given by the [[unit]]s of [[distance]] used and the [[unit]]s of [[time]] used in the calculation.

:<math>Speed = {\frac{distance}{time}} </math>

:<math>Speed = {\frac{metres}{seconds}} </math>

:<math>Speed = {\frac{m}{s}} </math>

:<math>Speed = m/s </math>

===Example Calculations===

|-

distance = 2.~~4[[km]]~~ 4km = 2400m

time = 20[[min]] = 1200s

<math>Speed = 2m/s </math>

| style="height:20px; width:300px; text-align:left;" |

distance = 42,~~000[[km]]~~ 000km = 42,000,000m

time = 20[[min]] = 5400s
