can someone explain to me how to manipulate the equation for speed

and also. circumference only applies to circles right?

the equation for speed is
distance=rate x time, right?
well what does manipulate mean?

speed = distance over time
s=d/t
we can multiply the whole equation(both sides) by t/s
so
t/s(s)=d/t(t/s)
t=d/s
or multiply again by s(both sides)
s(t)=d/s(s)
st=d

yup circumference applies to anything related to circles...

Question 1
distance = d
speed = s
time = t
s = d / t

Question 2
Circles
d = diameter
r = radius
c = circumference

c = π d
c = 2 π r

Speed=Distance travelled/time taken.
Suppose u travelled 10km distance in 5seconds thn your speed=10/5=2.
Hope so you were able to understand.

speed means distance covered in a specific time unit. this means you have to compute distance covered in a specific unit. 80km/hour means. 80km distace covered in onehour.

this means

speed= distance / time


for km/h : distance and time must be in km and hour
for meter/second(m/s): distance and time should be in meter and seconds
and so on

============================================
the circumfece also applies for other figures. however formula is different.

speed=distance/time

for example, say if you go 10 miles (distance) in 2 hours (time), your speed would be 5 miles per hour.

Velocity=distance divided by time

Circumference applies to any continuous curved line ( e.g. circles and ellipses). If the figure has corners then it has a perimeter.

speed = d/t

So you could put it in terms of T = D/Speed or D = Speed(t)

And I think circumference could apply to ovals too, but at that piont it might be called perimeter.
