Question

Use the formula d=rt. Find t for r=48.3m/h and d=545.79m.

Answer 1

Answer:

t = 11.3 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula d = rt stands for distance = rate x time.  The problem gives you the rate, or r = 48.3 m/h, and the distance, or d = 545.79m.  To solve for 't', you can plug the values given and divide:

d = rt or 545.79 = 48.3(t)

Divide both sides by 48.3:  545.79/48.3 = 48.3t/48.3

Solve for t:  t = 11.3 hours
