Question

A scuba diver descends farther down into the ocean from an initial depth of 15.2 feet below sea level. The scuba diver descends at a constant rate for 212 minutes and reaches a depth no more than 46.7 feet below sea level.
What is the maximum rate, r, that the scuba diver may descend?



r≥241925


r≤12.6


r≤241925


r≥12.6

Answer 1

Answer:

r <= 12.6

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's calculate the rate at which he descends:

r = (46.7 - 15.2)/212 = 0.15 feet/minute
