Question

A diver descended at a rate of 18 feet per second. What was her depth after one minute?

Answer 1

1,080 ft

Explanation:

Rate of descending or travel (r) = 18 ft per second.

The depth or distance traveled/descended (d) after 1 minute can be calculated as follows:

`d = r*t`

r = 18ft/sec

t = 1 min = 60 secs

`d = (18 ft)/(1 sec)*60secs`

`d = 18ft*60`

`d = 1,080 ft`
