Dave has been running every day to get in shape for the track season. He wants
to determine his average rate.
Dave learned the following formula in his
science class:
d = r. t
where
d = distance
r = rate
t = time

r = d/t

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

d = r * t

where,

d = distance

r = rate

t = time

Rewrite the equation to determine Dave's rate

d = r * t

d = rt

Divide both sides by the

d / t = rt / t

d / t = r

r = d/t

Average rate, r = d/t
