Which equation is equivalent to the formula [tex]d = r t[/tex]?

A. [tex]r = \frac{d}{t}[/tex]
B. [tex]r = d t[/tex]
C. [tex]t = \frac{d}{r}[/tex]
D. [tex]t = d r[/tex]



Answer :

To determine which equations are equivalent to \( d = r \cdot t \), let's solve the equation for both \( r \) and \( t \) step-by-step.

1. Solving for \( r \):

The original equation is:
[tex]\[ d = r \cdot t \][/tex]

To solve for \( r \), divide both sides of the equation by \( t \):
[tex]\[ r = \frac{d}{t} \][/tex]

2. Solving for \( t \):

The original equation is:
[tex]\[ d = r \cdot t \][/tex]

To solve for \( t \), divide both sides of the equation by \( r \):
[tex]\[ t = \frac{d}{r} \][/tex]

Now, let's match these manipulated forms of the equation to the given options:

1. \( r = \frac{d}{t} \)
2. \( r = d \cdot t \)
3. \( t = \frac{r}{d} \)
4. \( t = d \cdot r \)

Based on our derived equations \( r = \frac{d}{t} \) and \( t = \frac{d}{r} \):

- The equivalent form where \( r \) is expressed in terms of \( d \) and \( t \) is: \( r = \frac{d}{t} \) (Option 1)
- The equivalent form where \( t \) is expressed in terms of \( d \) and \( r \) is: \( t = \frac{d}{r} \) (Option 3)

Thus, the correct answers are options:
