Describing a real world situation for d=rt is something you need to do on your own. You could also look for an example in an algebra textbook.

Saying what d=rt means can be done for you.
Think of r as a constant which relates d to t; d mean distance, and t means time. d needs to go along with a unit of measure for distance; and t needs to go along with a unit of measure for time. r must be in unit consistent with those of t and d. is a rate and is given the constant number, r.

, easily solved for t.

You drive from place to place that are miles apart at (miles per hour). How long it will take you to come from place to place ?

or, just ask yourself:
How far you need go? => miles
How fast you go?:
How long it will take?

The answer is .
