feet
Remaining Attempts : 3

Answer 1

To find the current depth of the scuba diver, you can subtract the amount she ascended from her starting depth.

Starting depth: -75 feet (below sea level)
Ascended: +12.7 feet

Current depth = Starting depth + Ascended
Current depth = -75 + 12.7
Current depth = -62.3 feet

The current depth of the scuba diver is 62.3 feet below sea level.
