Convert speed float to units per second

[Mupp]

I get the speed of a object by measuring the distance it moved during a frame and store it as a float.
How do I convert it to show units per second, assuming it continues to move the same speed as current frame, framerate independent?

Hi.
i think if you can figure out what speed you need to do 1 unit then you can just calculate it.

Lets say 20 speed can do 1 unit per second.

then you can do current speed / 20

for example current speed would be 10, then 10/20 = 0.5 units
another example : if current speed would be 40 then 40/20 = 2 units

I using add force to move the object each frame so using this method would just be an approximation I think.
Is there a way to get the exact duration of the last frame? That would make this very easy.

Which is what delta time is apparently, so I just answered my own question.
