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

per minute. Enter 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 81 feet below the ocean surface. Use t to represent the variable for the minutes Lainey can continue to descend.

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.

One fourth of the 120 students took wood shop. How many students did not take wood shop?
yawa3891 [41]

Answer:

90 students.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given 1/4 of the 120 students took woodshop, just take the 3/4 that didn't take it:

\frac{3}{4}(120)

Find common factors between 4 and 120 to simplify, so 4.

\frac{3}{1} (30)

Now multiple across to get 90.
