The formula for speed is S = D/T
S = Speed
D = Distance
T = Time
In this situation, we know that D = 62.5 meters, and T = 5 minutes
So, we can fill in our formula to solve for Speed. S = 62.5/5
S = 12.5
Since we are dividing meters by minutes, our speed is 12.5 meters per minute. If your teacher wants you to convert it to seconds, let me know and I'll explain that part too. Otherwise, our answer is 12.5 meters per minute.
