A diver searched for a sunken treasure that is 97.2 feet below the surface. What is the divers elevation when he is 2/3 of the way down?
•-145.8 ft
•-64.8ft
•-32.4 ft
•-48.5 ft
The diver is searching for a treasure that is 97.2 feet below the surface.
To find 2/3 of the way down, we can multiply 97.2 by 2/3.
97.2 * 2/3 = 64.8 feet
Therefore, the diver's elevation when he is 2/3 of the way down is -64.8 ft.
The correct answer is -64.8 ft.
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 (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.
