Final answer:

Without the rate of descent, we cannot determine how deep Mr. mole was after 6 minutes. Given a hypothetical rate of descent, we can calculate the depth.

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate how deep Mr. mole was after 6 minutes of digging deeper than his original position 7 meters below ground, we would need additional information such as the rate at which he was descending.

Without that information, we cannot provide a specific numeric answer. If we were given, for example, that he digs 1 meter deeper every minute, then after 6 minutes, he would be 13 meters below the ground.
