To find out the time it took for the submarine to reach a depth of 1,000 meters, we need to divide the total distance it traveled (500 meters) by the distance it covered every 3 minutes (50 meters).
500 meters / 50 meters = 10
Therefore, it took the submarine 10 cycles of descending 50 meters every 3 minutes to reach a depth of 1,000 meters.
Since each cycle takes 3 minutes,
10 cycles * 3 minutes/cycle = 30 minutes.
Therefore, the submarine took 30 minutes to reach a depth of 1,000 meters.
A submarine is diving at a depth of 500 meters. Every 3 minutes, it descends another 50 meters. It then reaches a depth of 1,000 meters.
