A diver begins at sea level and dives down 200 feet. He ascends at a steady rate of 121/3 feet per minute for 4.5 minutes. This depth is represented by the numerical expression:

-200 + 121
3
(4.5)

Simplify the expression using the order of operations. What is the diver’s depth?

-200 + 373 (4.5)

-200 + 55.5
