Answer: 4 minutes

Step-by-step explanation: First you have to realize that she has already descended 20 feet. After realizing this you add 20 feet to every minute. Once you get to minute 4, 100 feet have descended but no more than 100. this is because she started with 20 feel then added 80 feet after 4 minutes, making it a total of 100 ft
