Question

the velocity of an object is equal to the distance divided by time. the equation is velocity = distance/time. if you wanted to calculate the time required for an object to travel a distance and you knew the velocity, you would
a multiply: velocity × distance
b subtract: velocity − distance
c divide: distance ÷ velocity
d add: velocity + distance

Explanation:

Step1: Recall the velocity formula

The given formula is \( \text{velocity} = \frac{\text{distance}}{\text{time}} \). We need to solve for time (\( t \)).

Step2: Rearrange the formula

Starting with \( v=\frac{d}{t} \) (where \( v \) is velocity, \( d \) is distance, \( t \) is time), multiply both sides by \( t \): \( v \times t = d \). Then divide both sides by \( v \): \( t=\frac{d}{v} \). This means time is distance divided by velocity.

Answer:

C. divide distance + velocity (Note: The option likely has a typo and should be "divide distance by velocity", but the correct operation is dividing distance by velocity, which corresponds to option C's description of dividing distance by velocity)
