Answer:
The submarine would be 900 below the ocean surface after 12 minutes assuming it started its descent at the surface of the ocean.
Step-by-step explanation:
The formula for distance traveled (in this case the distance a submarine descends) over a period of time is:
d
=
r
⋅
t
where
d
is the distance traveled (or descended),
r
is the rate of travel and
t
is the time.
In this problem we are told the rate,
r
is 75 feet per minute. And, we are told the time,
t
, to calculate for which is 12 minutes.
The answer is 3/7, 5-2=3 and 10-3=7
It is not A or C, and D isn't specific enough (over what amount of time? is it flying up? down? It is going forward at the same height?) The most likely thing to stay consistent is the cost of fabric and it's length.
Say 1 foot of fabric is $3 (assuming there's no discount for additional feet, but math isn't that consistent with actual store sales), then 2 is $6, and 3 is $9. That is a constant rate of change.
