Question

A car travels 100 meters in 5 seconds. What is the speed of the car?

speed = distance over time; 1 mile = 1609 meters

how far did you get ?

Answer 2

the first step is to write speed as distance divided by time (and put in the "units")
\[ \frac{100 \ meters}{5\ secs} \]

Answer 3

im terrible at this stuff and im lost on how to solve it

Answer 4

do you get the idea of putting 100 meters divided by 5 seconds ?

Answer 5

can you simplify 100/5 ?

Answer 6

and I assume they want the final answer in miles per hour ?

Answer 7

***im terrible at this stuff***
unfortunately, it takes work on your part to "get it". If you don't have the time to try to work this out, you won't make much progress.
