Question

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?

Answers

GPT 3.5
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}}.
