Question 258107: To avoid the bends, a diver should ascend no faster than 30 feet per minute. Write an inequality showing the relationship between the depth of a diver and the time required to ascend to the surface.
If a diver who begins at a depth of 77 ft ascends to the surface in 2.6 minutes, is the diver in danger of developing the bends?

77/30=2 minutes 17/30=2.56
2.6 minutes is very close
