The answer is: [B]: " r = dt " .
_____________________________________________________
Step-by-step explanation:
______________________________________________________
Let us consider the answer choices given:
______________________________________________________
The formula is: d = rt ; (that is: "d = r * t ") .
_________________________________________________________
Side note: In practice, this formula stands for: " distance = rate * time " .
__________________________________________________________
Consider "choice [A]: d/r = t ; This is true;
____________________________________
Given: d = rt ;

d/r = rt/ r ; d/r = t . True.
____________________________________
Consider "Choice [B]: r = dt .
________________________________________________
Given: d = rt ; r = d/t ; {not: " r = dt " }; so this answer seems correct!
________________________________________________
Consider "Choice [C]: d/t = r ;

As shown directly above (that is, considering "Choice B"); r = d/t ; ↔ d/t = r;
which is true.
________________________________________________
Consider "Choice [D]: d / rt = 1 ;
________________________________________________
Given: d = rt ; d/rt = rt/rt ; d/rt = 1 ; since (rt/rt =1); so this is true.
_______________________________________________________
So, Answer choice: [B]: " r = dt " ; is the correct answer!
_______________________________________________________
