Question

A diver is standing on a diving board 5 1/4 feet above sea level.

He jumps off and dives into the water for a total of 15 1/2 feet.
How far below sea level is the diver?

Answer 1

Explanation:

5 1/4 feet above sea level minus 15 1/2 will equal the distance the diver is below sea level.

5 1/4 - 15 1/2 = 10 1/4 feet below sea level
