A hole needs to be at least 40 feet below ground level. This means it needs to be more than 2 1/2 times it’s current depth. This depth is represented by the inequality 2 1/2d < -40, where d is the current depth of the hole. Select from the drop-down to correctly interpret the solution of this inequality.

The current depth of the hole is feet below ground level.

A.) The current depth of the hole is at most 16 feet below ground

B.) The current depth of the hole is deeper than 16 feet below ground

C.) The current depth of the hole is less than 16 feet below ground level
