A scuba diver was at death of 15 m before the surface when she saw something interesting about 10 m below. She made the descent in 10.1 seconds interpret the quotient to describe the rate of change in the divers death give your answer to the nearest, hundredth.

Answer 1

To find the quotient that describes the rate of change in the diver's depth, we need to divide the change in depth by the change in time.

The change in depth is the difference between the initial depth and the final depth: 15 m - 10 m = 5 m.

The change in time is given as 10.1 seconds.

To find the rate of change, we divide the change in depth (5 m) by the change in time (10.1 seconds):

Rate of change = 5 m / 10.1 s ≈ 0.50 m/s

Therefore, the rate of change in the diver's depth is approximately 0.50 m/s.
