Given the formula for time in terms of distance and velocity, $t=\frac {d}{v}$ what operation would you use

Question

to isolate the distance?
subtraction
addition
division
multiplication

Answer 1

To isolate the distance \( d \) in the formula \( t = \frac{d}{v} \), you would need to eliminate the division by \( v \). To do this, the operation you would use is multiplication.

You can isolate \( d \) by multiplying both sides of the equation by \( v \):

\[ d = t \cdot v \]

Therefore, the correct operation to isolate the distance is multiplication.
