GPT 3.5
To calculate the time it will take the submarine to descend to the ocean floor, we need to divide the distance to be covered by the rate of descent:

Time = Distance / Rate

Time = 6.24 km / 2.6 km/h

Time ≈ 2.4 hours.

Therefore, it will take the submarine approximately 2.4 hours to descend to the ocean floor.
