A diver searches for a sunken treasure that is 97.2 feet below the surface. What is the divers elevation when he is 2/3 of the way down

Answer 1

To find the diver's elevation when he is 2/3 of the way down, we need to first calculate how far he has descended.

2/3 of the total distance represents the distance the diver has descended.

Let's calculate the distance the diver has descended:

97.2 feet * 2/3 = 64.8 feet

Therefore, the diver has descended 64.8 feet.

Now, let's calculate the diver's elevation:

The initial elevation is 0 feet.

0 feet - 64.8 feet = -64.8 feet

Therefore, when the diver is 2/3 of the way down, his elevation is -64.8 feet.
