Question

Dave has been running every day to get

in shape for the track season. He wants
to determine his average rate.
Dave learned the following formula in his
science class:
d = r.t
where
d = distance
r = rate
t = time

Answer 1

r = d/t

Explanation:

Given:

d = r * t

where,

d = distance

r = rate

t = time

Rewrite the equation to determine Dave's rate

d = r * t

d = rt

Divide both sides by the

d / t = rt / t

d / t = r

r = d/t

Average rate, r = d/t
