velocity = distance/time
acceleration = (final velocity - initial velocity)/time

Time Velocity and Acceleration are all related through the factor of time itself. Look at the units of measurement:
T = sec
V = m/sec
A = m/sec^2 = (m/sec)*(1/sec) = (V)*(1/sec)
Time is a basic measurement and so is distance. Velocity and Acceleration are determined from the basic measurements of time and distance.
Mathematically speaking with time being the variable, distance, velocity, and acceleration are all related through derivation.
V(dt) = A
D(dt) = V
Hope this helped.

As most people have already pointed out, acceleration is the time derivative of velocity (change in velocity per unit time).
dv/dt = a

change in velocity in unit time is called acceleration

Well you need to use math because you need to divide or multiply the time divide by the velocity. I am not sure because i forgot.

average acceleration is (change in velocity)/(change in time), and the units are: m/s^2

Velocity is the time-rate-of-change (derivative) of position.
Acceleration is the time-rate-of-change (derivative) of velocity.

v = at + iv
v - velocity
a - acceleration
t - time
iv = initial velocity
