Question

John walks at a constant speed. The distance, d, John walks is equal to d = s × t, where s is the speed in miles per hour at which he walks and t is the amount of time in hours he walks for. Enter an equation that can be used to find the speed, s, at which John walks.

Answer 1

Answer:

S = d/t

Step-by-step explanation:

Distance (d) = Speed (s) × time (t)

To write an equation to calculate speed, we have to make speed the subject of the above formula.

Since, D = s × t

We divide both sides by (t) in order to eliminate t, from the right side of the equation

We have d/t = s

We can alternatively say, s = d/t
