Question

A diver descends 2 feet per minute. How deep below sea level is it after 40 minutes? (shows the process).

Answer 1

80ft bc you would do 40x2

Answer 2

80 feet below sea level

Explanation:

We know that the rate of the diver is 2 ft / min. The time we are given is 40 minutes, so to find out how many feet the diver has descended, we multiply the rate by the time:

(2 ft / min) * (40 min) = 80 ft

Thus, the diver is 80 feet below sea level after 40 minutes.

Hope this helps!
