A diver searches for a sunken treasure that is 97.2 feet below the surface. What is the diver's elevation when he is 2/3 the way down?
To find the elevation of the diver when he is 2/3 of the way down, we need to calculate 2/3 of 97.2.
2/3 * 97.2 = 2 * 97.2 / 3 = 194.4 / 3 ≈ <<194.4/3=64.8>>64.8
Therefore, the diver's elevation when he is 2/3 of the way down is approximately 64.8 feet below the surface.
To determine the diver's elevation when he is 2/3 of the way down, we need to find 2/3 of the total depth.
Total depth of the sunken treasure = 97.2 feet
Elevation when 2/3 of the way down = (2/3) * 97.2
To calculate this:
(2/3) * 97.2 = (2 * 97.2) / 3
= 194.4 / 3
= 64.8 feet
Therefore, the diver's elevation when he is 2/3 of the way down is 64.8 feet.
To find the diver's elevation when he is 2/3 of the way down, we need to first calculate how far down the treasure is.
The depth of the treasure is given as 97.2 feet below the surface. Since the diver is going down, we can represent the depth as a negative value.
To find 2/3 of the depth, we multiply the depth by 2/3:
(2/3) * 97.2 = 64.8 feet
So, when the diver is 2/3 of the way down, he is at a depth of 64.8 feet below the surface.
To find the diver's elevation, we subtract the depth from the surface:
Surface - Depth = Elevation
0 - (-64.8) = 64.8 feet
Therefore, the diver's elevation when he is 2/3 of the way down is 64.8 feet below the surface.
