Final Answer:

**Deep sea diver dives 50 feet per minute. how long does it take to go 150 feet?**

Identify knowns & unknowns

This question is asking to find change in time with knowns of average velocity and displacement.

Identify the related formula

This is the formula used for problems related to Velocity.

V = X/T

v = average velocity

x = displacement

t = change in time

Input variables, solve and simplify

If a deep sea diver dives down 50 feet per minute, it will take 3 mins (t = 3) to go 150 feet down.
