The s=d/t equation can be rearranged to make distance the subject of the formula
This equation is in the correct format to use the re-arrangement triangles shown below. This is a useful tool for rearranging some simple equations.
To use the triangle to re-arrange for distance, put your finger over distance to hide it and you can see that you are left with speed x time visible.
These triangle only work if there are 3 variable configured in the correct way, they do not work for all equations.
To see how the word equation should be rearranged properly, please see the method below:
This is the symbol version of the rearrangement:
