katrinakaif · Answer

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?)

$$D=RT$$ 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
