Speed is distance divided by time. For example, if you run for 500 miles (don't mind my weird example), and it takes you 10 seconds, you divided the distance (in this case 500 miles) by the amount of time it took to complete that distance (10 seconds). In this case, the speed is 50 miles per second.

speed=distance/time

if the distance was 30 miles and the time it took to get there were 15 mins then the speed would be 2 mph.

Speed = Distance Divided by time

Use units.

Unit of speed: m/sec

                          or

                        km/hr

Speed is distance traveled over time.

Example:

You walk 10 miles in 2 hours, so 10 miles / 2 hours = (10 miles / 2 hours) =

5 miles/hour

Always include units, since in some cases you many need to convert things to match the units you need in the final answer, like if I wanted miles/second I would do:

5 miles/hour  X 1 hour/60 minutes  X 1 minute / 60 seconds.
