Answer 1

Answer: 1.5ft/seconds

Explanation:

From the question, we are informed that a loon is a bird that dives in the ocean for its food and that it can dive to a depth of 12ft in 8 seconds.

The amount of feet it dive per second will be gotten by dividing 12ft by 8 seconds. This will be:

= 12ft / 8sec

= 1.5ft/seconds
