Question

Traveling East
How much time is needed for an object traveling with a velocity of 22 m/s eastward to reach a point 242 m to the east?

Answer 1

\(\displaystyle d=rt\)

Where,
\(d=\text{distance}\\
r=\text{rate}\\
t=\text{time}\)

We know two,
\(d=242\text{m}\\
r=22\text{m/s}\)

So we now have,

\(242=22\times t\)

How would you solve for t? :)

Answer 2

Do you understand? I have seen you start to respond several times.

Answer 3

Not quite :/. I'm at the end. 242= 22x t

Answer 4

How would you get t by itself?

Answer 5

Perhaps think of it like this.

\(d=rt\)

How would you solve for t here?

Answer 6

Multiply?

Answer 7

It is already a multiplication of r and t. So what do we do to get rid of a multiplication?

Answer 8

Divide?

Answer 9

Exactly, you would divide each side by r to get t by itself so now we have,

\(\displaystyle t=\frac{d}{r}\)

Input the values from above, what do you get?

Answer 10

Remember,
\(d=242\\
r=22\)
