Question

3. A scuba diver was exploring a reef 32.12 m below sea level. The diver ascended to the surface at a rate of 8.8 m/min.
(a) Write an equation to model the situation. Use the formula d = rt.
(b) Explain why it is reasonable to write the distance, d, as a positive number.
(c) How long did it take the diver to reach the surface?

Answer 1

A. d=rt d is 32.12 and your rate is 8.8 so the answer for A is 32.12=8.8t
B. The word ascend means to go up
C. Just divide 32.12 by 8.8
