It takes a submarine 11 minutes to dive 154 meters below sea level.
If the submarine dives at a constant speed, how much does its depth change per minute?
154/11 = ______ meters per minute
14 meters
To find how much the submarine's depth changes per minute, we can divide the total change in depth by the total time taken.
In this case, the submarine's depth changes by 154 meters, and it takes 11 minutes to make that change.
To calculate the depth change per minute, we divide the total depth change by the total time taken:
Depth change per minute = Total depth change / Total time taken
Depth change per minute = 154 meters / 11 minutes
Simplifying the expression:
Depth change per minute ≈ 14 meters per minute
Therefore, the submarine's depth changes by approximately 14 meters per minute.
