A submarine dives 300 feet every 2 minutes, and 6,750 feet every 45 minutes. Solve for A and

1 answer:

3 0

A: To find the rate in feet per minute, we can use the information given.
Every two minutes, the submarine dives 300 feet. So
$\frac{300feet}{2minutes} = 150 \frac{feet}{minute}$ .
In order to confirm that our rate is correct, we can use the second set of information given.
$\frac{6750feet}{45minutes}$ = $150 \frac{feet}{minute}$ .
Since we know that the rate is 150 feet per minute, we can multiply it by any number of minutes and get the answer of how deep the submarine is. We can use a variable x to represent the number of minutes and y to represent the depth in feet.
$y=150x$
There's our equation.
B: It would be more reasonable to use an equation with the rate feet per minute because it is more accurate since the time interval isn't too big.

$\sf{ \large{ \boxed{ \red{ {a}^{ \frac{n}{m} } = \sqrt[m]{ {a}^{n} } } } }}$

$\sf{ {2}^{ \frac{4}{3} } }$

(See the imagine for reference)
Let’s solve where they have a triangle, so the height is 9 cm, the base is 3 cm:

1/2 • 9 • 3 = 13.5

Since there’s 2 triangles we do:

13.5(2) = 27

Now the rectangle in the middle, where the height is 9cm and the base is 12cm:

12 • 9 = 108

Add up the areas:

108 + 27 = 135
