Question

During a scuba dive, Lainey descended to a point 23 feet below the ocean surface. She continued her

descent at a rate of 23 feet per minute. Enter 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 97 feet below the ocean
surface. Use t to represent the variable for the minutes Lainey can continue to descend.
The inequality is
t (select)

Answer 1

t (23) ≤ 97 - 23

The minus 23 at the back represents the feet she already descended before what the question wants us to calculate

≤ is used instead of < because it states more than, not "equal or more than" (meaning 97 sharp is fine)
