Welcome to the forum. We do expect you to show us some attempt to solve a problem yourself, and then we will help you. Here is a hint:

What is the relationship between speed, frequency, and wavelength for any wave?
 
so is that equation Speed=frequency x wavelenth?
 
Yes, that's exactly what you need to do.
 
test. It looks like youre on the right track now
