The formula rt+d is used to calculate distance if you know the rate and time. What is the equation for finding the time when given the rate and distance?

rd=t
d/r=t
r=td
r/d=t

@kittiwitti1 ok u can help or @silveralchemist09 can help idk who

kittiwitti1 · Answer

Okay.

Just checking, though - isn't the formula rt = d (distance equals rate multiplied by time)?$$\frac{?miles}{1hour}\times 8 hours$$That's just an example one btw

@kittiwitti1 ok yeah that's what I thought it was want to help with more

kittiwitti1 · Answer

rt = d is solving for DISTANCE given rate and time, which is why the d is isolated. If we want to solve for TIME given rate and distance, we isolate the t (the variable for time).$$rt=d\rightarrow t=?$$
