Question

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

Answer 1

To isolate the distance \( d \) in the formula \( t = \frac{d}{v} \), you would multiply both sides of the equation by the velocity \( v \).

Here's how it looks:

1. Start with the formula:
\[
t = \frac{d}{v}
\]

2. Multiply both sides by \( v \):
\[
t \cdot v = d
\]

So, the isolated formula for distance is:
\[
d = t \cdot v
\]
