Question

A scuba diver is 30 feet below sea level. She then rises 30 feet. What is the scuba

diver's new position?

Answer 1

The scuba diver is at sea level.

Explanation:

Hi there!

We're given that the scuba diver is 30 feet below sea level, and then she rises 30 feet.

This means she would be at sea level, not above or below.

You can think of it on a vertical ruler; the scuba diver starts at 0, goes down 30 units and goes back up 30 units. She will end up at 0 again, which in this case is sea level.

I hope this helps!
