1. A submarine ascended 8 feet per minute. Which integer describes its position after 9 minutes?

Answer 1

72

Explanation:

If it is ascending 8ft per minute and you are asking for how far it would go in 9 minutes, you would go 9 x 8 = 72ft. Why? First let's understand what 8ft per minute means. It means that the submarine will go 8 feet every minute it moves. So therefor, you are adding 8ft 9 times, which is the equivalent to 9 x 8.
