Question

A diver was at 58m below sea level.The diver swam up 4m every 12 seconds. Where is the location of the diver after 2 minutes?​

Answer 1

18 m below sea level

Explanation:

Answer 2

18 metres below sea level.

Explanation:

Since the diver swims up 4 metres every 12 seconds, that means the diver swims up 4 * (60/12) metres = 20 metres every minute. Therefore, he will have swum up 20 * 2 = 40 metres after 2 minutes. Factoring in the diver's original position, -58m, we can calculate his position to be -58 + 40 metres = -18 metres, meaning 18 metres below sea level.

Hope this helped!
