Question

a diver descended 42.56 feet in 11.2 minutes what was the divers average change in elevation per minute

Answer 1

3.8 per minute because if you divide 42.56÷11.2= 3.8

Answer 2

Explanation:

Average change in elevation means,

elevation in 1 minute.

Given,

the diver descended 42.56 feet in 11.2 minutes.

So, we have to find how many feet he dives in 1 minute.

Now,

In 1 minute he dives,

`(42.56)/(11.2)` feet

=3.8

So, the average change in elevation is 3.8 feet per minute
