I have a question that says: Sound is used to measure ocean depth. Sound travels 1.5 km per second through water. If it takes 3.7 seconds for a sound to reach the bottom of the ocean, how deep is the water? It is not that I can't solve the problem, I don't know the problem is asking. The only thing I know is that it multiplication. Please help me.
