a submarine is 800 meters below the surface of the ocean and is ascending at a rate of 40 meters every minute. mathematical reasoning can be used to determine when the submarine would reach the surface which graph below most accurately communicates this reasoning?

I had this question a few years back. But, if it's already 800 meter's below, then it's ascending at a rate of 40, pick the one that started at 800 (below) and is going up 40.

To determine when the submarine would reach the surface, we can use mathematical reasoning. We know that the submarine is initially 800 meters below the surface and is ascending at a rate of 40 meters every minute.

To find the time it takes for the submarine to reach the surface, we can divide the initial depth of 800 meters by the ascending rate of 40 meters per minute.

800 meters / 40 (meters/minute) = 20 minutes

So, it would take 20 minutes for the submarine to reach the surface.

Now let's analyze the provided graphs to find the one that accurately communicates this reasoning.

Unfortunately, you haven't provided any graphs for me to analyze. If you can provide the graphs, I would be able to determine which graph most accurately communicates the reasoning.
