A diver searches for a sunken treasure that is 97.2
feet below the surface. What is the diver's elevation when he is 23
2
3
of the way down?
To find the elevation of the diver when he is 2/3 of the way down, we can multiply the total depth by 2/3.
Elevation = 97.2 feet * 2/3
Elevation = 64.8 feet. Answer: \boxed{64.8}.
To find the diver's elevation when he is 23/32 of the way down, we need to calculate the distance he has descended.
Step 1: Calculate the distance the diver has descended.
Distance descended = 97.2 feet * (23/32) = 69.5625 feet
Step 2: Subtract the distance descended from the surface elevation.
Elevation = Surface elevation - Distance descended
Elevation = 97.2 feet - 69.5625 feet = 27.6375 feet
Therefore, the diver's elevation when he is 23/32 of the way down is approximately 27.64 feet.
