What is the formula for calculating speed?
v = t * d
v = d * t
v= t / d
v = d / t
Answer explanation
The correct formula for calculating speed (v) is v = d / t, where d is distance and t is time. This means speed is the distance traveled divided by the time taken.

What is the average speed of a snail that takes 10 minutes to cross an 80 cm paving stone?
8 cm/min
80 cm/min
0.8 cm/min
800 cm/min
Answer explanation
To find the average speed, divide the distance by time. The snail crosses 80 cm in 10 minutes. Thus, average speed = 80 cm / 10 min = 8 cm/min. Therefore, the correct answer is 8 cm/min.

Divide by 1.6
Answer explanation
To convert from km/h to m/s, you divide by 3.6. This is because 1 km is 1000 meters and 1 hour is 3600 seconds, so 1000/3600 simplifies to 1/3.6.
