Ascuba diver was exploring a reef 32.12 m below sea level. the diver ascended to the surface at a rate of 8.8 m/min. (a) write an equation to model the situation. use the formula d = rt. (b) why do we write the distance, d, as a positive number? (c) how long did it take the diver to reach the surface?a) write an equation to model the situation using the formula, d = rt; d = distance, r = rate, and t = time. (2 pts) b) why do we write the distance, d, as a positive number? (1 pt) c) how long did it take the diver to reach the surface? (2 pts)
