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).
Hope that answers your question-ujhk77
D=RT is an equation stating that distance traveled is equal to the rate of travel multiplied by the amount of time travelling.
r=rate , t=time, d=distance you use these in the formula rt=d for word problems
rate d=rt
The commutative property
the distance is d=rt distance = rate times time.
Well D=RT means Distance=rate(time) so multiply rate by time to get distance
D=RT is an equation stating that distance traveled is equal to the rate of travel multiplied by the amount of time travelling.
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)
Yes
r=rate , t=time, d=distance you use these in the formula rt=d for word problems
It is an example of a formula.
r+d/t
rate d=rt
d=rt d=distance r=rate t=time
The commutative property
No, you would also need to know the time spent travelled. Distance equals rate multiplied by time, or D=RT.
d=rt distance= rate[times] distance= rate * times
