Deriving the Trip Duration Formula

A logistics company uses the formula DT=R\frac{D}{T} = R to monitor fleet efficiency, where DD is distance, TT is time, and RR is average speed. To update the dispatch software, you need to provide a guide on how to solve this equation for TT. In the space below, describe the step-by-step algebraic procedure used to rearrange DT=R\frac{D}{T} = R to isolate TT. Be sure to specify the operations used to clear the denominator and isolate the variable.
