Tanya Streeter holds the world record for freediving in the ocean. She dove 525 feet in 3 1/2 minutes. How many feet per minute did she dive?
Thank you sooooooo much!!
525 / 3.5 = ??
To find out how many feet per minute Tanya Streeter dove, you need to divide the total distance she dove by the total time she took.
Tanya dove 525 feet in 3 1/2 minutes. To convert 3 1/2 minutes into a fractional form, you can write it as 3.5 minutes.
Next, divide the total distance she dove (525 feet) by the total time it took (3.5 minutes):
Feet per minute = Total distance / Total time
Feet per minute = 525 feet / 3.5 minutes
By performing the calculation, we find that Tanya Streeter dove at a rate of 150 feet per minute.
