Which expression best represents Laurie's maximum depth? (4) (negative 5) (3) (Negative 4) (Negative 5) (Negative 3) (Negative 5) (20) (3) (Negative 5) (Negative 20) (Negative 3)

Complete question :

Answer:

(-5) * (20) * (3)

Explanation:

Diving 5 feets deeper = descent = negative 5 Feets

Each time instrument is checked = (60/3) = depth of 20 feets

Number of times instrument is checked = 3

Hence, maximum depth :

Diving 5 feets deeper * Each time instrument is checked = depth of 20 feets * Number of times instrument is checked

(-5) * (20) * (3) = - 60
