Is d/t=r an equivalent equation to d=rt

1 answer:

7 0

Answer: Yes; " d/t = r " ;
__________________________
is, in fact, an equivalent equation to: "d = r t" .
___________________________
Explanation:
___________________________
Consider the equation: "d = rt" (which is, " d = r*t ").

We are asked if: " d/t = r " an "equivalent equation" [ to: " d = rt "] .
___________________________
Note that: "d/t = r " is the same as: ↔ "r = d/t ".

So, given: "d = rt" ; let us rewrite the equation, by isolating: "r" on one side of the equation:
_____________________
→ d = r t ; divide EACH SIDE of the equation by "t" ; to isolate "r" on one side of the equation:
__________________________
→ d/t = (r*t) / t ; to get:

→ d/t = r ; so yes; "d/t = r" and: "d = rt" are equivalent equations.
___________________________
Note: In practice, these variables are often used in the formula:

"d = rt" ; or, "distance = rate * time" .

Mr. Claw received a job with an annual salary of $51,000. He will receive a 1.5% increase every year. How much will Mr. Claw's s

NeX [460]

Answer: $53,330

Step-by-step explanation:

This is an exponential function so to find the salary in 3 years, you need to use a future value formula such as :

= Amount * ( 1 + rate) ^ number of years

Amount = $51,000

Rate = 1.5%

Number of years = 3 years

Salary = 51,000 * ( 1 + 1.5%)³

= 53,329.59

= $53,330

You are paid $82.50 for 71212 hours of work. What is your rate of pay?

yanalaym [24]

If you would like to know what is your rate of pay, you can calculate this using the following steps:

$82.50 ... 7.5 hours
$x = ? ... 1 hour

82.50 * 1 = 7.5 * x
82.50 = 7.5 * x /7.5
x = 82.50 / 7.5
x = $11

The correct result would be $11 per hour.
