    This document provides examples of calculating speed, distance, and time using the formula that relates the three quantities: speed = distance/time. In four examples, when two quantities are given, the third quantity is calculated. Specifically, examples are provided to calculate speed when given distance and time, and to calculate time or distance when given the other two quantities of speed and distance or speed and time.
