Question 408021: The function, p(d) = 1 + d/33, gives the pressure, in atmospheres (atm), at a
depth d in the sea (d is in feet). Note that p(0) = 1 atm, p(33) = 2, and so on. Find the pressure at 180 feet. The pressure at 180 feet is ___ atm.

The function, p(d) = 1 + d/33, gives the pressure, in atmospheres (atm), at a
depth d in the sea (d is in feet). Note that p(0) = 1 atm, p(33) = 2, and so on.
:
p(d) = 1 + d%2F33
;
Find the pressure at 180 feet. d=180
p(d) = 1 + 180%2F33
p(d) = 1 + 515%2F33
p(d) = 65%2F11 atmospheres at 180 fr
