Question

what is speed?
the distance an object travels multiplied by the time it takes the travel that distance.
the distance an object travels added to the time it takes the travel that distance.
the distance an object travels divided by the time it takes the travel that distance
the distance an object travels subtracted from the time it takes the travel that
time.

Explanation:

The formula for speed is \( \text{speed} = \frac{\text{distance}}{\text{time}} \), which means speed is the distance an object travels divided by the time it takes to travel that distance. We analyze each option:

• Option 1: Multiplying distance and time (\( d \times t \)) does not give speed.
• Option 2: Adding distance and time (\( d + t \)) is not the formula for speed.
• Option 3: Dividing distance by time (\( \frac{d}{t} \)) matches the speed formula (\( v=\frac{d}{t} \)).
• Option 4: Subtracting distance from time (\( t - d \)) is not related to speed.

Answer:

The option (assuming the third option in the list, likely labeled as something like "C" or the third radio button) with the description "the distance an object travels divided by the time it takes the travel that distance" is the correct one. If we assume the options are labeled as A, B, C, D (with C being the third), then:
C. the distance an object travels divided by the time it takes the travel that distance
