Question

Which inequality represents the problem?



A duck can dive below sea level at a rate of 5 feet per second.

How many seconds will it take the duck to reach a depth of at least –29 feet?

A. T+29<5
B. T+5>29
C. 29T>5
D. 5T>29

Answer 1

well if you're going 5 feet per second and you have to get to -29 ; are you going to multiply 5 by the time or depth by the the time?

Answer 2

Depth..?

Answer 3

no; you're looking for how long it will take, so you'd have to multiply it by how long you can go per second :)

Answer 4

how far i guess*

Answer 5

because you are already multiplying the depth. because the depth is -29

Answer 6

so -29 x 5 = ?

Answer 7

-145

Answer 8

it's the same as 29 x 5 just add a negative on your result

Answer 9

good

Answer 10

Now What Do I Do?

Answer 11

that isnt the equality. nor how you would get it

Answer 12

hmm?

Answer 13

its not.

Answer 14

or is it -29 ÷ 5?

Answer 15

your not looking for the answer. you're looking to write the equality.

Answer 16

no.

Answer 17

because it has to equal -29

Answer 18

its D right because 5T has to equal 29?

Answer 19

or not equal but you know what i mean.

Answer 20

yes.

Answer 21

Answer 22

you're overthinking the problem.
