The distance, d, an object travels is represented by the formula d = rt, where r is the rate at which the object is traveling and t is the duration of time over which the object travels. If d has units of meters and r has units of meters per minute, what must be the units of t?

d=rt
meters=(meters/minute)t
times both sides by minutes
(minutes)(meters)=(meters)(t)
divide both sides by meters
minutes=t

the units is minutes
