the formula d = rt means that the distance traveled is equal to the rate (speed) times the time. Solve d = rt for r
r is being multiplied by t, so the opposite of that is dividing r by t. the answer is r=d/t
Answer:
\(r=\frac{d}{t}\)
Explanation:
Here, the given formula that is used to find distance,
\(d=rt\) -----(1)
Where, r is the rate ( speed ),
t is time.
From equation (1),
\(rt=d\)
Dividing 't' on both sides,
We get,
\(r=\frac{d}{t}\)
Which is the required equation that is used to find rate or speed.
