Question

Amy is getting in shape for the track season. Her coach suggests running a certain number of kilometers each week. Amy runs laps around a lake near her house to reach this goal.

Here's the formula for this scenario:
n = \[\frac{ k }{ d }\]

k = total number of kilometers
d = distance around the lake
n = number of laps Amy runs around the lake

Rewrite the formula to determine the distance around the lake.

Answer 1

d = k/n

Answer 2

@Skiller8860 Do you get it?

Answer 3

Look:

n = k/d
Times d on both sides.
n*d = k
Divide by n on both sides.
d = k/n

Answer 4

Not really getting it.

And sorry was away....

Answer 5

It's just an equation.

Answer 6

What grade are you in?

Answer 7

I understand that, however I do not get what I plug into the variables.

Answer 8

I'm in 10th. Doesn't matter.

Answer 9

Why not? Lets say k is 10 and d is 2.

Answer 10

So k / d would be 5. So n is 5.

Answer 11

I understand, but does it want me to rewrite it in a different format, or does it want me to figure out what to plug into the variables and solve for it?

Answer 12

Then k / n should be d, so 10 / 5 should be 2, and it is...

Answer 13

Noooo, just rewrite it.

Answer 14

Oh .. Hah'. Thanks xD.

Answer 15

No problem. :D
