If the question gives you a time that is larger than the distance, do you still put distance on the top of the average speed formula? | Yes!! You always put distance in the top and time in the bottom of the average speed formula. |
What makes an average speed answer perfect? | Having the right number AND the right unit. |
How do you know what unit to put at the end of an average speed answer? | Just use the units that were provided in the question. |
Does every average speed answer have m/s for the units? | No. Sometimes the units are something like km/h, or cm/s. |
