Answer:

v = d/t, perhaps.

Explanation:

Velocity (speed) is defined as distance traveled divided by the time it takes to travel that distance.

This gives an average speed. For example, I'll be taking a trip tomorrow of about 150 miles. If it takes me 3 hours, my average speed is v = 150/3 = 50 miles per hour.

That does not mean my speed is constantly 50 miles per hour; I sometimes go slower than that (maybe even stopping for red lights!), and sometimes I'll be going faster than that.

A lot of school math problems assume a constant speed.
