Given:
A deep sea diver started at sea level (0 feet).
Rate of diving = 5.6 feet per minute.
Time = hour
To find:
The rational number that represents his position relative to sea level.
Solution:
We know that,
1 hour = 60 minutes
hour = 30 minutes
A deep sea diver, dove at a rate of 5.6 feet per minute.
Distance covered in 1 minute = 5.6 feet
Distance covered in 30 minute = 30 × 5.6 feet
= 168 feet
The diver dove 168 feet in hour. Since it is below the sea level, therefore it should be negative.
So, the rational number that represents his position relative to sea level is feet.
Therefore, the correct option is D.
Answer:
x = 9
Step-by-step explanation:
The outer and inner triangles are similar, thus the ratios of corresponding sides are equal, that is
=
, that is
=
( cross- multiply )
12(x - 3) = 8x
12x - 36 = 8x ( subtract 8x from both sides )
4x - 36 = 0 ( add 36 to both sides )
4x = 36 ( divide both sides by 4 )
x = 9
