a marine biologist is doing research on a shell fish that lives 80 feet below sea level. The marine biologist dives into the sea at a rate that is no less than -5 feet per second. How long will it take the marine biologist to reach the shellfish?

16 seconds. Assuming the biologist is traveling at a constant velocity, you can use the equation d = rt to find the time.
80 = 5t
t = 16 seconds
