Since the beginning of algebra, I have always been terrible at word problems. I don't know why. I have this word problem here and would love for someone to explain in large depth how to solve these word problems. Thanks.
A pen floating in the weightlessness of space is 30 inches above the floor of the space capsule and is rising at 1.5 inches per second. In how many seconds will it reach the 6-foot-tall ceiling?
