If the bubble travels 10 meters per second and it takes 10 seconds, then just multiply the distance per second by the total seconds to get the total depth.
10 • 10 = 100
The lake is 100 meters deep.

Think of it this way to clarify the answer:
It takes a bubble traveling at a speed of 10 meters per second 10 seconds to travel 100 meters.
