Homework Help: Physics

Radio amateurs are permitted to communicate on the "10 meter band." What frequency of radio waves corresponds to a wavelengthy of 20m? (The speed of radio wave is 3.00 x 10(8)m/s).

Can you help me with setting up the formula?

frequency = (wave speed)/(wavelength)
Divide 3*10^8 m/s by 20 m
