Drive a car at uniform (constant) speed 60km/hr and when u reach 60km away from where u started the journey, u can tell u've been driving for 1hr....
Time = Total Distance covered/Speed at which distance is covered
check units ie, Hour = Km/(Km/hour) = kmxhour/km = hour
Note, if u change direction, consider velocity (instead of speed). Velocity is vector and speed is scalar.

Always remeber to check your units.
Remeber that speed (velocity) is meters/sec
that would mean that speed /length is in units of 1/sec (or sec^-1)
the units on the two sides of the equation do not work out. So no it is not correct, but if you just flip it you get the right equation. time = L/v

Nope,
Time = Length / Speed

Velocity=distance/time
so V * T=D
which would make T=D/V

Technically it is time = distance/velocity...

No...its Time=speed/distace. your answer is correct but this is the standard word.

no it is distance/velocity
