A submarine was at a depth of 106.3 feet below sea level. After 5 hours, the submarine was at 481.2 feet below sea level. How far did the submarine travel?(1 point)

Question

The submarine travele___ feet.

Answer 1

To find out how far the submarine traveled, you need to determine the difference in depth from the initial depth to the final depth.

1. Initial depth: 106.3 feet below sea level
2. Final depth: 481.2 feet below sea level

To calculate the distance traveled, you can subtract the initial depth from the final depth:

\[ \text{Distance traveled} = \text{Final depth} - \text{Initial depth} \] \[ \text{Distance traveled} = 481.2 - 106.3 \] \[ \text{Distance traveled} = 374.9 \text{ feet} \]

Thus, the submarine traveled 374.9 feet.
