Answer:

a. distance = s x t

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation we know for speed is speed = distance/time, shortened to s = d/t

If you want to find the distance, you'd rearrange the formula to make d the subject. To isolate d, multiply by t on both sides (since it's being divided on the right. This leads to

s x t = d, with d isolated on the right side.

Therefore, to find the distance an object travelled you'd use a. distance = s x t
