Numeracy in Science – Rearranging equations and formulae
Equations and formulae are used in
Physics, Chemistry and Biology.
Sometimes you will need to rearrange
them to work something out.

To rearrange them, you need to
understand what they mean.
The formula for calculating speed is
shown on the right. What does it
mean?

Numeracy in Science – Rearranging equations and formulae
You rearrange an equation when what you want to work out is not the
subject. In the equation below, β€œpower” is the subject. If I wanted to
work out β€œvoltage” or β€œcurrent”, I would need to rearrange it.

What calculation do you think you would need to do to work out the
voltage? (Remember, dividing is the reverse of multiplying).
