A scuba diver is swimming at a depth of 46 meters below sea level. He swims 0.5 meters toward the surface every 3 seconds.

What is his location relative to the surface after 15 seconds?

Answer:

The scuba diver would be 43.5 meters from the surface after 15 seconds

Explanation:

So first we need to take 0.5 and multiply it by 5 since we know 15 divided by 3 is equal to 5, and we get 2.5

We then take 46 and subtract 2.5 from it, resulting in 43.5
