here rate = float (input ()) and same for distance Too you can use any data type like int or any other. in your case the input accepted is a string value and thus will show you an error

you have to use parentheses around print if you are using newer version of Python.

input gives you str. str has no method for / It will not work if you don't adapt your values. Also print is a function in Python 3.x and not a statement as in Python 2.x. Use parentheses. Last but not least, you should use a function for the calculation, like: def time(rate, distance): return distance / rate cleaner, more modern, and reusable infinitely many times
