Question

*PLEASE HELP*The distance formula states that distance (d) is equal to the product of rate (r) and time (t).

Which equation could be used to solve the problem?

A plane traveled at a constant rate of 500 kmph. How many hours did the plane take to travel 1700 km?

t=500/1700

t=500⋅1700

t=1700/500

t=500d⋅1700

Answer 1

t = 1700 km / 500 kmph

Explanation:

Since we know that d = r x t we can solve this for t. To do so we divide both sides of the equation by r.

This gives us

d/r = t

Then we plug in the information we have.

d = 1700 km

r = 500 kmph

Final Answer:

1700 km / 500 kmph = t
