PLEASE HELP ASAP

A scuba diver was exploring a reef 36.08 m below sea level. The diver ascended to the surface at a rate of 8.8 m/min.
(a) Write an equation to model the situation. Use the formula d = rt. Where d is distance, r is rate and t is time.
(b) Explain why it is reasonable to write the distance, d, as a positive number.
(c) How long did it take the diver to reach the surface?
PLEASE SHOW YOUR WORK

36.08 = 8.8t

The distance is a positive because it shows the total distance traveled

36.08 = 8.8t
4.1=t
