The correct answer would be -48.5ft.
To find the diver's elevation when he is 2/3 of the way down a sunken treasure that is 97.2 feet below the surface, you need to calculate 2/3 of the total depth.
Total depth = 97.2 ft
2/3 of the total depth = 2/3 * 97.2 ft = 64.8 ft
Therefore, the correct answer is **-64.8 ft**.
To determine the diver's elevation when he is 2/3 of the way down, we need to find 2/3 of 97.2 feet.
To do this, we can multiply the depth of the treasure by 2/3:
97.2 ft * 2/3 = 64.8 ft
Therefore, the diver's elevation when he is 2/3 of the way down is -64.8 feet.
The correct response is -64.8.
