Question

After visiting the Titanic, Captain Brain and Mr. Pinky are taking the Alvin submarine back to the surface of the water. They start 1900 meters below the surface of the water, and ascend at 69 meters per hour. Note: under the water is a negative number. Write an equation to model this situation (use m m for meters and h h for hours).

Answer 1

M = 69h - 1900
Where m = meters from the surface and h = the hours

Answer 2

1900 Divided by 69 = -27
