Question

(03.06 MC)Solve the equation for the letter r: d = rt

Answer 1

The equation for r: d = rt would be 'r equals d over t.'

How, you might ask? Well, let's consider this example:

You might already know what d = rt stands for... "Distance equals rate times time", so if you divide the two sides by 't', you would come up with r = d/t. So that would finalize as your answer for this question.

Answer 2

r =
`(d)/(t)`

Explanation:

Given: d = rt

Here we have to solve for letter "r".

To solve for letter "r" we have to use inverse operation and solve.

d = rt

We have to get rid of "t" on the right hand side.

"t" is in the multiplication, the inverse operation of multiplication is division.

So divide both sides by t, we get

d/t = rt/t

Simplifying the above equation, we get

d/t = r

Therefore, r =
`(d)/(t)`
