During a scuba dive, Lainey descended to a point 18 feet below the ocean surface. She continued her descent at a rate of 25 feet per minute. Write 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 143 feet below the ocean surface. Use the variable t for time.
walter needs to make at least 5 more cookies but no more than 40. 5 ≥ x ≥ 40;
step-by-step explanation:
walter has to make a minimum of 20 cookies. he already has 15 cookies made, so he must make 5 more to meet the minimum.
the maximum amount of cookies he can make is 55. he already has 15, so he has to make no more than 40 more cookies to meet the maximum.
Inequality representation :
18 + 25t ≤ 143 ;
t = 5
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that:
Initial dive, I = 18 feets
Descent rate, r = 25 feets / minute
Maximum depth reached = 143 feets
Time = t
Inequality representation :
18 + 25t ≤ 143
To solve for t
25t ≤ 143 - 18
25t ≤ 125
Divide both sides by 25
25t / 25 ≤ 125 / 25
t ≤ 5
10 will be the number of adult tickets and 11 will be the number of children tickets. i hope i could ! good luck : )
