01. Submarine: A submarine is at sea level. It begins to descend at 40 ft.per min.
Where will the submarine be in 6 min, in relation to the sea level?

Answer 1

The submarine will be descending 240 ft. in 6 minutes! (hope this is correct lol)

Explanation:

-40 ft per minute = -40 times 6 because descend means decrease, below, down, etc. The words PER MIN. means multiply every minute by -40. So -40 times 6 = -240. The submarine will be descending 240 ft. in 6 minutes!
