During a scuba dive, Lainey descended to a point 26 feet below the ocean surface. She continued her descent at a rate of 26 feet per minute. Enter an inequality you could solve to find the number of minutes she can continue to descend if she does not want to reach a point more than 68 feet below the ocean surface. Use t to represent the variable for the minutes Lainey can continue to descend.

how far? <(68 - 26) = </= 42 feet more
distance = speed * time
26 t </= 42
t </= 1.62
