Algebra.Com's Answer #315499 by oberobic(2304)![]() ![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! The standard distance formula is: \n" ); document.write( "d = rt \n" ); document.write( "where \n" ); document.write( "d = distance \n" ); document.write( "r = rate (or speed) \n" ); document.write( "t = time \n" ); document.write( ". \n" ); document.write( "r = 600 \n" ); document.write( "d = 1200 \n" ); document.write( ". \n" ); document.write( "So, \n" ); document.write( "d = rt \n" ); document.write( "Divide both sides by r \n" ); document.write( "d/r = t \n" ); document.write( "t = d/r \n" ); document.write( "t = 1200/600 \n" ); document.write( "t = 2 \n" ); document.write( ". \n" ); document.write( "Done \n" ); document.write( " |
