A woman is standing in the ocean, and she notices that after a wave crest passes, five more crests pass in a time of 52.0 s. The distance between two consecutive crests is 28 m.
period:
frequency: Hz
wavelength: m
speed m/s

Period= 10.4 seconds
Frequency = 1/10.4 seconds-1
Wavelenth = 28 m
speed = wavelength x frequency = 28/10.4 m/sec

I've never been called the smartest guy in the room, but I just can't see a woman standing in the ocean. On what ?

Period = (52:6) = 8.67s
Frequence = (1:Period) = 0.115 Hz
Wavelength = 28m
Speed = (wavelength : frequence) =243.49m/s
