If D represents distance you travel, R represents the rate you are moving, and T represents the time you travel, write a formula for
1) Distance
2) Rate
3) Time
D = RT
R = D/T
T = D/R
The Indianapolis 500 race was shortened by 415 mi. If the averaged mph was 151.774 what was the time to the nearest thousandth
1) The formula to calculate distance is: D = R * T
To get the distance (D) you travel, you need to multiply the rate (R) at which you are moving by the time (T) you travel.
2) The formula to calculate rate is: R = D / T
To find the rate (R) at which you are moving, you need to divide the distance (D) you travel by the time (T) you take to travel.
3) The formula to calculate time is: T = D / R
To determine the time (T) it takes to travel, you need to divide the distance (D) you travel by the rate (R) at which you are moving.
