Q. The following formula gives an object's average speed S, where T is the time it takes the object to travel a distance D.S=TDRearrange the formula to highlight time.T=
Question Prompt: The question prompt is: "Rearrange the formula to solve for time, T, in terms of distance, D, and average speed, S."
Isolating T: To isolate T, we need to manipulate the equation S=TD so that T is on one side by itself. We can do this by multiplying both sides of the equation by T.
Multiplying by T: Multiplying both sides by T gives us T×S=D.
Dividing by S: Now, to solve for T, we divide both sides of the equation by S.
Final Solution: Dividing both sides by S gives us T=SD.
