Given the formula, solve for the indicated variable. d = rt for t

OpenStudy (katrinakaif):

To get "t" alone, what must we do with "r" ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that is what i would like to know

OpenStudy (katrinakaif):

Well then, what is the operation between r and t?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

this is how the problem was given to me that's why i put it on here cause i didn't understand i thought it was something i was missing

OpenStudy (katrinakaif):

I can't give you an answer hun. All I can do is guide you through it. Can you first tell me what operation is between "r" and "t"? (HINT: Are they multiplying each other, dividing, being added, or substracted?)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[D=RT\] as in distance is rate times time \[\frac{D}{R}=T\] as in if you drive 100 miles at 50 mph it takes 100/50 = 2 hours
