Answer:

t = d/r

Explanation:

d = rt

We are solving for t, so you need t alone on the left side.

Switch sides.

rt = d

t is being multiplied by r, so you need to divide the left side by r to get rid of r. You must do the same operation to both sides of an equation, so divide both sides of the equation by r.

rt/r = d/r

rt/r is simply t, so we get:

t = d/r
