Q. Choo Kheng must travel at least 288 kilometers in a submarine in order to reach her destination.Let S represent the number of hours the submarine can travel on the water's surface and U represent the number of hours it can travel underwater in order to reach Choo Kheng's destination.36S+64U≥288The submarine travels for 232 hours on the water's surface. What is the least number of hours the submarine must travel underwater in order for Choo Kheng to reach her destination?Choose 1 answer:(A) The submarine must travel for at least 1 hour.(B) The submarine must travel for at least 2 hours.(C) The submarine must travel for at least 3 hours.(D) The submarine must travel for at least 4 hours.
Understand the problem: Understand the problem.We are given the equation 36S+64U≥288, where S is the number of hours the submarine travels on the water's surface and U is the number of hours it travels underwater. We need to find the minimum value of U when S is given as 2(32) hours.
Substitute and simplify: Substitute the given value of S into the equation.S is given as 2(32) hours, which is equal to 38 hours. We substitute this value into the equation to find U.36(38)+64U≥288
Perform multiplication: Perform the multiplication to simplify the equation.36×(38)=96So, the equation becomes:96+64U≥288
Perform subtraction: Subtract 96 from both sides of the inequality to solve for U. 64U≥288−9664U≥192
Divide to find minimum: Divide both sides of the inequality by 64 to find the minimum value of U.U≥64192U≥3
