To find the diver's elevation when he is 2/3 of the way down, we need to find 2/3 of the distance 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 ft.

To find the diver's elevation when he is two-thirds of the way down, we need to calculate 2/3 of 97.2 feet.
2/3 * 97.2 ft = 64.8 ft
So, the correct answer is -64.8 ft.
To find the diver's elevation when he is 2/3 of the way down, we first need to determine the total depth the diver needs to descend.
Given that the sunken treasure is 97.2 feet below the surface, we can calculate the total depth as follows:
Total depth = 97.2 ft
Next, we need to find 2/3 of the total depth:
2/3 * 97.2 ft = 64.8 ft
Therefore, when the diver is 2/3 of the way down, his elevation would be -64.8 ft.
So, the correct answer is -64.8 ft.
