ANSWER:

Coefficient

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

d = 55t

The value 55 in this equation can be said to be the coefficient of t.

Coefficient in mathematics is a number used to multiply a variable. In this case the variable is t while 55 is the coefficient. When a variable appears without a number the coefficient is always 1. It can also be called a constant.

Therefore, we can say the value 55 in the equation d=55t represents the coefficient.
