Answer 1

8.928 minutes

Explanation:

The diver is currently at 25 feet depth from the water surface and she plans to explore a shipwreck that is at 275 feet depth from the surface.

So, she needs to move ( 275 - 25 ) = 250 feet more downward to explore.

If she is moving at a rate of 28 feet per minute, then she will need
`(250)/(28)=8.928` minutes to reach the shipwreck. (Answer)
