a suba diver is 180ft below sea level and rises to the surface at a rate 30ft/min. How long will it take for the diver to reach the surface?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

time = distance/speed

OpenStudy (anonymous):

30ft/min is a rate of speed. Speed is determined by dividing distance by time (d/t). We know that d/t = 30, and that d = 180 180/t = 30 t = 6

do i divide or multiply

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Time = distance divided by speed. you have distance of 180, in a time of 30
