Question

A submersible can dive to a depth of 2000 feet below sea level at a rate of 245 feet per minute. How deep would the submersible be in 45 seconds?

A.
110.25 feet below sea level

B.
122.5 feet below sea level

C.
183.75 feet below sea level

D.
208.25 feet below sea level

Answer 1

Explanation:

A submerisible can dive at a rate of 245 ft per min => the rate of the depth to the amount of time is 245:1

45 seconds = 3/4 minutes

We have : 245 : 1 = (245:4/3) : (1:4/3) = 183.75 : 3/4

So, in 45 seconds the submersible will be 183.75 feet below sea level.
