Answer 1

Explanation:

1. if the sub is at 325.8 at it was originally at 275 you have to put the numbers in absolute value. so 325.8 - 275=50.8

the sub went down -50.8 feet to get to 325.8

if the diver dives another 23 feet you have to put the numbers in absolute value and add 325.8 + 23= -348.8 feet underwater

on hour 3 it says that it descends an average of how much he went down in the first 2 hours witch is -73.8

i got -73.8 by adding hours one and two

then you add hour 3 by -348.8
