Calculating Speed of Sound in Water Given Torpedo Impact Data

[skybird]

Homework Statement

A torpedo fired from a submerged submarine is propelled through the water with a speed of 20.00 m/s and explodes upon impact with a target 2000.0 m away. If the sound of the impact is heard 101.4 s after the torpedo was fired, what is the speed of sound in water? (torpedo is held at a constant speed by propeller)

Homework Equations

speed=d/t

The Attempt at a Solution

I started by reading through the question and thought, if the torpedo travels 20 m/s, and it went 2000 m, then it would be traveling the length in 100 seconds. From there i thought that since it takes 101.4 s for the sound to reach the listener, I could divide 100 by 101.4, concluding that the speed of sound was 1.014 m/s. I think i am completely wrong in how to solve this problem. Please help!

If you divide 100 seconds by 101.4 seconds, what are the units of the quotient?

Now, you know how far the sound travels and how long it takes to travel. Don't you think that's a better approach?
