A boat drops an anchor 21 feet to the bottom of a lake. If the boat anchor falls at a rate of 1.2 feet per second, how long will it take the anchor to reach the bottom of the lake?

Respuesta :

Answer:

4 minutes and 10 seconds.

Step-by-step explanation:

Time = Distance / Speed (or rate)

Time = 17.5 feet / 0.07 feet per second

Hence, time = 250 seconds.

250 seconds = 4 minutes 10 seconds.
