So, presumably your book is using an air temperature of 20° C as a base reference point for the speed of sound. It's usually around 343 meters/second.
Wavelength=speed/frequency
So just re-solve the formula for frequency and get
Frequency=speed/wavelength
Then put in the values you have for speed and wavelength and solve.
And, by the way, Emma... By chance, you're not putting your entire homework assignment on sound waves into this, are you? :P

when the teacher doesn't teach the materials and the department buys Cengage to teach, the only way to learn is from you guys on this website.

Every question has randomly generated units to calculate so everybody mostly uses your answers as examples to solve the formulas we are given.

Thank you for providing the equation, Evan! I know it's been a few years since Emma's question, but I believe I'm going through the exact same coursework from the same school from the looks of it, and I'd have to say in Emma's defense - the textbook is extremely unclear with different metrics than what one would find anywhere else, so I often peruse this site for other students who've asked the questions I have like the one above. Your equation is exactly what I needed - thanks!08/06/23
