Question

Brian is riding his bike. He biked a distance of 14 miles at a rate of 14 miles per hour. Rearrange the distance formula, d = rt, to solve for Brian's time in minutes

Answer 1

The required rearranged equation is
`t=(d)/(r)`

SOLUTION:

Given, Brian is riding his bike.

He biked a distance of 14 miles at a rate of 14 miles per hour.

We have to rearrange the distance formula, d = rt, to solve for Brian's time in minutes.

Now, we have to calculate time so, the equation will be rearranged as
`t=(d)/(r)`

Here, d is distance = 14 miles and r is rate of speed = 14 miles per hour

Then,
`\text { time } \mathrm{t}=\frac{14 \text { miles }}{14 \text { miles per hour }}=(14)/(14)=1 \text { hour }`

The required equation is
`t=(d)/(r)`

Answer 2

60 minutes

Explanation:

The distance formula is:

D = RT

Where

D is distance (in miles)

R is rate (in miles per hour)

T is time (in minutes)

Given,

D = 14 miles

R = 14 miles per hour

We want to find T, so we have:

`D=RT\\T=(D)/(R)\\T=(14)/(14)\\T=1`

So the time is 1 hour

We want in minutes, and we know 60 minutes is 1 hour, so the time (in minutes) is 60 minutes
