try solving for r in the equation, then plug in the numbers

If we plug in the numbers to the variables of d, r, and t, we will get an equation as: 300=r(6). 

To solve for 'r' we need to do the inverse of multiplication, which is division. Making the next step as to 300/6=50. 

So r=50.

Thanks! I'm really bad at math and I get confused really easily. 
I take an online course so it's hard to teach myself things. xD
