Answer:

It is expected to be at a distance of 200 ft below the sea level

Explanation:

We are told that the sub marine has a descending rate of 40 ft per minute.

Thus, after five minutes, the distance it would have descended would be 40 ft per minute * 5 minute = 200 ft

Thus, the submarine is expected to be 200ft below sea level
