How do you solve distance-rate-time (d = rt) problems?

Answer

This is another non-electrical formula (d = distance, r = rate/speed, t = time). However, the solving approach is similar to Ohm's Law:

  • To find distance: d = r × t
  • To find rate: r = d/t
  • To find time: t = d/r

The parallel with V = IR is clear: both involve three variables where knowing two allows you to calculate the third.
