Answer:

B. Distance

Step-by-step explanation:

When calculating speed, the value of the given distance is first entered on the calculator because it is in the numerator.

Speed is the rate of change of distance with time;

Speed =
(distance)/(time)

The value of the distance is inputted first before that of the time is entered.

This way the division sign evaluates for the speed.
