I typically would include the actual formulas you are using. I also tend to use the angular equations rather than trying to use the linear ones. For example: [math]v = r \omega[/math], so [math]\omega = \frac{v}{r}[/math] (And at this step you would do your unit conversions.)

Then you simply have [math]\theta = \omega t[/math].
