D=rt means:
Distance= Rate X Time
Rate affects the equation d=rt like so: rate= Distance / Time
Say you had to find the time it took (in hours) for a car that traveled at a speed of 40 miles per hour to travel 120 miles.
First we define our variables:
The rate (r) at which the car was traveling at is 40 miles per hour.
The distance (d) was 120 miles.
We don't know the time it took, so we'll call that "t" and solve for it now.
Plug the numbers into the equation "d=rt":
(120)=(40)(t)
120=40t
120/40=40t/40 To isolate the variable, divide both sides by 40.
3=t The time is 3 hours.
See? Easy as pie (or easy as pi, as the case may be).

What is the formulas that relates distancetime and rate?
Distance equals Rate multiplied by Time D = RT
What is D equals RT in arithmetic math?
D=RT is an equation stating that distance traveled is equal to the rate of travel multiplied by the amount of time travelling.
What is the answer for rt?
r=rate , t=time, d=distance you use these in the formula rt=d for word problems
Distance divided by time is?
rate d=rt
What property is used for the formula d equals rt that would give you the same answer as d equals tr?
The commutative property
What are the steps for the D equals RT?
Well D=RT means Distance=rate(time) so multiply rate by time to get distance
What is the formulas that relates distancetime and rate?
Distance equals Rate multiplied by Time D = RT
What is D equals RT in arithmetic math?
D=RT is an equation stating that distance traveled is equal to the rate of travel multiplied by the amount of time travelling.
What does the formula d equals rt mean?
The formula d= rt means that the d(distance that is traveled) is equal to the r( rate of speed) multiplied by t(the time that it took to travel it)
Does the formula d equals rt give the distance d traveled at a rate of r for t units of time?
Yes
What is the answer for rt?
r=rate , t=time, d=distance you use these in the formula rt=d for word problems
What is d equals rt an example of?
It is an example of a formula.
Distance divided by time is?
rate d=rt
Which equation is not equivalent to the formula d equals rt?
r+d/t
Distance rate and time formula?
d=rt d=distance r=rate t=time
What property is used for the formula d equals rt that would give you the same answer as d equals tr?
The commutative property
Could you find the distance somebody travels if you know the rate of speed?
No, you would also need to know the time spent travelled. Distance equals rate multiplied by time, or D=RT.
