95 ÷ 18% = 17.1
17.1 × 5 = 85.5
Therefor, your answer is 85.5 meters.
Hope is helps :)

Answer:

Depth of seal in 5 seconds = 85.5 meters

Explanation:

Distance between a seal and fish = 95 meters below the surface of the water

It traveled 18% of the total distance every second so distance covered in one second = 18% of 95

= 95×0.18

= 17.10 meters

And distance covered in 5 seconds will be = 17.10 × 5 = 85.50 meters

Therefore, depth of the seal in 5 seconds will be 85.5 meters
