Answer:

[See Below]

Explanation:


Hey~There!

________________________

Formula:


  • D=rt.

Write out an equation:


  • 100=12.5x.

  • X= The time it took him to reach the surface.

Solve by dividing
\bold1\bold2.\bold5 on each side:


  • 12.5 ÷
    12.5 = Cancels~Out.

  • 100 ÷
    12.5=8.

________________________

So based on the work above we can conclude it took the diver:


  • 8~minutes to reach the surface.
