A diver descended at a constant rate of 12.24 feet every 3 minutes. Which of the following is true?
A. After one minute, the diver was at-4.08 feet
B. After one minute, the diver was at 4.08 feet
C. After one minute, the diver was at -6.62
D. After one minute, the diver was at 6.62 feet
I think the answer is B... 12.24 divided by 3
But he started at the top level and is falling.
It will b A -4.08
Yes!
You all are wrong
To determine the correct answer, we can calculate how far the diver descends in one minute.
The diver descends at a constant rate of 12.24 feet every 3 minutes. This means that in one minute, the diver descends 12.24 feet divided by 3.
Let's calculate it:
12.24 feet / 3 = 4.08 feet
Therefore, Option B - "After one minute, the diver was at 4.08 feet" is the correct answer. Well done!
