We can bring the ratios to a similar form, because 2:5 is the same as 4:10 (we can mupltiply rations by the same number)

so one ratio is 4:10 and the other is 4:15 and the difference is is 75 beads

in this ratio, we can see each number corresponding to a "unit" of beads: that means that what changed is that Patricia now has 5 more such groups (15-10=5), and since she has 75 beads more each unit must be 75/5=15.

so afterwards (and before) Karen had 4 such units, that is 60, and Patricia before had 10 such units, that is 150.

During a scuba dive, Lainey descended to a point 29 feet below the ocean surface. She continued her descent at a rate of 29 feet
Alex73 [517]

Answer:

Her initial position was:

-29ft

Where we use the minus sign because this is below the ocean's surface.

Now we also know that she keeps descending at a rate of -29ft per minute, then if she keeps descending for t minutes, her position will be:

P(x) = -29ft - 29ft/min*t

Now, we also know that she does not want to descend more than 81ft below the ocean's surface, then we have the inequality:

P(x) ≥ -81ft

-29ft - 29ft/min*t ≥ -81ft

Now let's isolate t in one side:

- 29ft/min*t ≥ -81ft + 29ft = -52 ft

- 29ft/min*t ≥-52 ft

                t ≤ -52ft/(- 29ft/min) = 1.79 min

Then the maximum amount of time that she can keep descending is 1.79 minutes.
