A submarine is diving at a depth of 500 meters. Every 3 minutes, it descends another 50 meters. It then reaches a depth of 1,000 meters.
How many times did the submarine descend 50 meters?
To dive from 500 meters to 1,000 meters, the submarine needs to descend another 500 meters in total because 1,000 minus 500 equals <<1000-500=500>>500
The submarine needs to descend 10 times because 500 divided by 50 equals <<500/50=10>>10. Answer: \boxed{10}.

The submarine descends 50 meters every 3 minutes, so to descend 500 meters it will take 3 minutes x 10 = <<3*10=30>>30 minutes.
Therefore, it took the submarine 30 minutes to reach the depth of 1,000 meters.
Answer: \boxed{30 \text{ minutes}}.
To find out how many times the submarine descended 50 meters, we can calculate the difference between the initial depth of 500 meters and the final depth of 1,000 meters. Then we can divide that difference by the descent per minute, which is 50 meters.
The difference between 1,000 meters and 500 meters is 1,000 - 500 = 500 meters.
Now, let's calculate how many times the submarine descended:
500 meters / 50 meters = 10 times
Therefore, the submarine descended 50 meters 10 times.
To find out how many times the submarine descended 50 meters, we can calculate the difference in depth between the starting depth (500 meters) and the final depth (1,000 meters). Then, we divide this difference by the amount the submarine descended each time (50 meters).
The difference in depth is 1,000 meters - 500 meters = 500 meters.
The amount the submarine descended each time is 50 meters.
Now we can divide the difference in depth by the amount descended each time to find the number of descents:
500 meters / 50 meters = 10 descents
Therefore, the submarine descended 50 meters 10 times.
