Yes. That slanty bar between "work" and "time" means "divided by".

Depending on what you are trying to find.

If you are trying to find power, then yes, you divide work and time together

if you are trying to find work, then you will have to multiply time to both sides to find work, and vice versa for time


hope this helps
