To find the diver's elevation when he is 2/3 of the way down to the sunken treasure at a depth of 97.2 feet below the surface, you'll first calculate how far down the diver is when he is 2/3 of the way:
-
Calculate 2/3 of the depth: \[ \frac{2}{3} \times 97.2 \text{ ft} = 64.8 \text{ ft} \]
-
Determine the diver's elevation: Since the diver is 64.8 feet below the surface, we can express this as: \[ \text{Elevation} = -64.8 \text{ ft} \]
So, the diver's elevation when he is 2/3 of the way down is -64.8 ft.
