A scuba diver is 75 feet below sea level. She then ascends 12.7 feet. What is the current depth of the scuba diver?(1 point)%0D%0A feet

Answer 1

To find the current depth of the scuba diver after ascending 12.7 feet from a depth of 75 feet below sea level, we can subtract the ascent from the original depth:

Current depth = original depth - ascent Current depth = 75 feet - 12.7 feet = 62.3 feet

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

Answer 2

wrong answer

Answer 3

I apologize for the mistake. Let's solve the problem correctly:

The scuba diver is initially at a depth of 75 feet below sea level. When she ascends 12.7 feet, we need to subtract that distance from her depth:

Current depth = original depth + ascent Current depth = -75 feet + 12.7 feet Current depth = -75 + 12.7 = -62.3 feet

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

Thank you for your patience, and I'm sorry for the confusion!

Answer 4

still wrong

Answer 5

I apologize for the confusion in my previous responses. Let’s clarify the calculations.

The scuba diver starts at 75 feet below sea level. When she ascends, she is getting closer to sea level.

1. Starting depth: -75 feet (since it's below sea level).
2. Ascending 12.7 feet means we add that distance to her depth:

\[ \text{Current Depth} = -75 + 12.7 = -62.3 \text{ feet} \]

Thus, the scuba diver is currently 62.3 feet below sea level.

Thank you for your understanding, and I appreciate your patience. If this still doesn't meet your expectation, please let me know so I can help clarify further!
