Wave Calculations

For the given values, find the missing value for the velocity, wavelength, or frequency of the waves. Use the formulas: Velocity = Wavelength x Frequency, Wavelength = Velocity/Frequency, Frequency = Velocity/Wavelength. What is the velocity if the wavelength is 5 meters and the frequency is 3 Hz?
