A diver dives from sea level at a rate of 15 1 2 feet per minute. How many minutes will it take the diver to reach a depth of 279 feet below sea level? Be sure to SHOW or EXPLAIN all work.

HINT: Diving 15.5 feet per minute is like repeating subtraction every minute. What math operation is like repeating subtraction?

1. how do you convert the repeating, nonterminating decimal 0. to a fraction? explain the process as you solve the problem.

The weight of a radioactive isotope was 96 grams at the start of an experiment. after one hour, the weight of the isotope was half of its initial weight. after two hours, the weight of the isotope was half of its weight the previous hour. if this pattern continues, which of the following graphs represents the weight of the radioactive isotope over time? a. graph w b. graph x c. graph y d. graph z

Part a what is the area of triangle i? show your calculation. part b triangles i and ii are congruent (of the same size and shape). what is the total area of triangles i and ii? show your calculation. part c what is the area of rectangle i? show your calculation. part d what is the area of rectangle ii? show your calculation. part e rectangles i and iii have the same size and shape. what is the total area of rectangles i and iii? show your calculation. part f what is the total area of all the rectangles? show your calculation. part g what areas do you need to know to find the surface area of the prism? part h what is the surface area of the prism? show your calculation. part i read this statement: “if you multiply the area of one rectangle in the figure by 3, you’ll get the total area of the rectangles.” is this statement true or false? why? part j read this statement: “if you multiply the area of one triangle in the figure by 2, you’ll get the total area of the triangles.” is this statement true or false? why?
