A scuba diver wants to dive deeper than 2 1/2 times her previous dive. That means she has to dive at least 85 feet below the surface of the water. This dive is represented by the inequality 2 1/2p<−85, where p is the end location of her previous dive relative to the surface of the water.
Select from the drop-down to correctly interpret the solution of this inequality.
The scuba diver's previous dive was _______ feet below the surface of the water.
A at most 34
B deeper than 34
C less than 34
