is speed distance or time??

Speed is distance divided by time. It's a rate.
For example, if you say that your car is moving at 50 kilometers per hour, then what you're telling me is that if you were to travel for one hour, you would cover a distance of 50 km. If you are only moving at 25 km/hr, then you would only cover 25 km in one hour. See how that works?

Speed is the distance covered over a period of time.

usually distance is measured in the two metres (m) or kilometers (km). Time must be seconds (s) or minutes (m) velocity, is a mixture of distance and time. E.g 60m/s (60 metres in step with 2nd) does that help?

Speed is how far you go in a specific period of time. So it's a factor of both.
Good Luck!

both. it is a distance and how long it takes you to travel that distance.
Speed=Distance divided by time
