Question

The relationship between speed, distance, and time can be modeled using this equation, where: s = speed
, d = distance, and t = time.
s = d/t
Part 1
You're on a road trip with friends, but you can't see the GPS. You want to calculate how many miles you will drive on each highway.

Rewrite the equation so it is solved for d.
Show all steps.

Answer 1

We start with
s = d / t

Step 1: Multiply both sides of the equation by t to isolate d:
t · s = t · (d / t)

Step 2: On the right side t cancels with the denominator t (assuming t ≠ 0):
t · s = d

Rewriting the left side:
d = s t

So the equation solved for d is d = s·t (with t ≠ 0).
