Answer:

-11 meters is traveled every minute (11 meters below sea level).

Explanation:

In this case, simplest form relates to a unit rate. A unit rate is a type of ratio. The ratio we can use in this problem is 3.25:35.75. Since 3.25 represents the minutes and we want to get the average distance traveled in a minute, we must get 3.25 to 1. 3.25 divided by 3.25 is 1. However, what we do to one section we do to the other. -35.75 divided by 3.25 is -11 meters. -11 meters is traveled every minute (11 meters below sea level).
