Step-by-step explanation:

Speed = Distance traveled/ Time taken

Distance = 200m

Time = 15s

Speed = 200/15 = 13.33m/s

The answer you are looking for is approximately 13.3 m/s.

First, writing out the formula for the speed of an object, encompassing distance and time, in meters per second, or m/s,

S=D/T.

"S" stands for "Speed."

"D" stands for "Distance."

"T" stands for "Time."

Speed (S)=????

Distance (D)=200m.

Time (T)=15s.

Substituting the given values of the variables,

S=200m/15s.

200÷15=13.3333≈13.3.

So, therefore, the final answer is approximately 13.3 m/s.

*Other answers may be a little different, depending on how you round it.

I hope that this has helped answer your question. Good day to you.
