distance divided by time (d/t)
Average distance ______________ = Average Speed Average time
Divide the distance travelled by the time.
With a speed-o-meter!
Speed is an absolute unchanging linear distance crossed per unit time. Speed is not the same thing as velocity, and an object cannot exhibit a "rate of speed" since rate is velocity. Speed is determined by measuring the distance traversed over a specific unit of time. Since the object almost always is not at a constant speed, we are really estimating the average speed.
The average speed is the speed, regardless of the direction.ANSWER:No. You don't. In order to find average speed, you need other variables, either time or distance to calculate an average speed. You might only see a train going up a steep slope at 15 mph everyday and think that's the slowest train in the world. Not knowing that on the other side of the hill it reaches 90 mph on the downslope.
Average distance ______________ = Average Speed Average time
Yes. You can also find speed by distance divided by height
Divide the distance travelled by the time.
Most things don't move with the same speed at all times
In general, we will find the average speed of a moving object by dividing the total distance it travels by the total time elapsed in its travel.We can find the actual speed of the object if it moves with a constant speed during all of its travel. But if the object is something like a bus or train that makes stops along the way, we discover its average speed by dividing the total distance it travels by the total time it took to travel that distance.
The total distance by the total time of a moving object is the average speed of the object. If the moving object is a train that makes a few stops along its route, it will have some kind of average speed associated with its journey. An investigator will find the average speed by dividing the total distance it traveled by the total time that has elapses since it left point A to get to point B.

You would need some more information.
The speed of an object can be found by dividing the distance travelled by the object by the time taken for the object to travel that distance. Speed=Distance/Time
