Question

A deep-sea exploring ship is pulling up a diver at the rate of 10 feet per minute. the diver is 200 feet below sea level. what is the depth of the diver after 3 minutes?

Answer 1

Answer: The depth of the diver is 170 feet below sea level.

Step-by-step explanation: Every minute the diver is going up 10 feet. To figure out how much the diver has gone up you multiply 10 feet by however many minutes it has been. You subtract that from 200 to get the depth of the diver after a certain amount of time.
