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

Question

of the way down?(

Answer 1

2/3 of the way down means the diver has descended 2/3 of the total distance to the treasure.

The total distance to the treasure is given as 97.2 feet.

So, the diver has descended (2/3) * 97.2 = <<(2/3)*97.2=64.8>>64.8 feet.

To find the elevation, we need to subtract this distance from the surface elevation.

The surface elevation is 0 feet (since it is the starting point).

Therefore, the diver's elevation when he is 2/3 of the way down is 0 - 64.8 = -64.8 feet.
