Wave speed = frequency * wavelength

We need to rearrange this equation because we are finding the wavelength :

Wavelength = wave speed / frequency

To rearrange it, I just divided it by frequency so that wavelength was the subject.

Now, input these numbers into this equation :
Wavelength = wave speed / frequency
Wavelength = 25 / 5
Wavelength = 5m
