True. 

The average speed is calculated by dividing the total distance that the object or body has taken over the time it takes to complete the distance.

Example:

Determine the average speed of the object that travels 500 meters in 10 seconds.

Solution:

v = d/t

v= average speed/ average velocity

d = distance

t = time

v = 500 m/ 10s

v = 50 m/s
