per minute. Write an inequality you could solve to find the number of minutes she can continue to descend if she does not want to reach a point more than 100 feet below the ocean surface.

She can descend five minutes so that should help

Answer:

We know that she first descends 20 feet, and then she descends at a rate of 20 feet per minute. Basically, we have 20 feet which have to me summed with 20x, which expresses the ratio per minute, where x is minutes, and these terms cannot be more than 100 feet, so there are equal or less than 100 feet,

The expression would be:

20+20x\leq 100

If we solve this, we have

20+20x\leq 100\\20x\leq 100-20\\x\leq \frac{80}{20}\\ x\leq 4

Therefore, she cannot descent for more than 4 minutes.

Vaselesa [24]
I believe you ment to say sale price but I hope this helps you understand your question. The original price was 1200, and if it were 5/6 on sale (this method works for all questions like this) you would do 1200 ÷ 6 = 200 x 5 = $1000.
