a diver searched for sunken treasure that is 97.2 feet below the surface. What is the divers elevation when he is 2/3 of the way down
To find the diver's elevation when he is 2/3 of the way down, we need to calculate 2/3 of the total depth.
Total depth of sunken treasure = 97.2 feet
2/3 of 97.2 feet = (2/3) * 97.2 = 64.8 feet
Therefore, the diver's elevation when he is 2/3 of the way down is 64.8 feet below the surface.
To find the diver's elevation when he is 2/3 of the way down, we need to determine the distance he has descended.
2/3 of the distance to the sunken treasure can be calculated by multiplying 2/3 by the total distance, which is 97.2 feet.
2/3 * 97.2 = 64.8 feet
Therefore, when the diver is 2/3 of the way down, his elevation would be 97.2 - 64.8 = 32.4 feet above the surface.
To find the diver's elevation when he is 2/3 of the way down, we first need to determine how deep the diver is at that point.
We know that the sunken treasure is located 97.2 feet below the surface. The diver is 2/3 of the way down, which means he has descended 2/3 of the total depth.
To find the depth the diver has descended, we multiply the total depth by 2/3:
97.2 feet × 2/3 = 64.8 feet
Therefore, the diver is 64.8 feet below the surface at that point.
To find the diver's elevation, we need to subtract the depth from the surface elevation. Since the diver is below the surface, we subtract the depth from the surface elevation:
Surface elevation - Depth = Elevation
0 feet - 64.8 feet = -64.8 feet
Therefore, the diver's elevation when he is 2/3 of the way down is -64.8 feet. Note that the negative sign indicates that the diver is below the surface.
