The distance, d, an object travels is represented by the formula d = rt, where r is the rate at which the object is traveling and t is the duration of time over which the object travels. If d has units of meters and r has units of meters per minute, what must be the units of t?
-----
If d = rt you get t = d/r = (meters)/(meters/seconds)
= meters(seconds/meters)
= seconds
