after diving 93m below sea level, a diver rises at a rate of 6 meters per minute for 8 minutes. where is the diver in relation to the surface?

Question

i can't figure this one out
6x8=72
72 + 93= 165
but this still doesn't look right at all!!!!!!!!

Answer 1

Nope, it isn't right.

To begin, 6 times 8 = 42

Visualize the diver going down 93 meters.

Then he comes back up 42 meters.

You can't add these together. What do you think you should do with these numbers?

Answer 2

Hi Ms.Sue,

I would subtract 93-42= 50

Answer 3

Oops -- neither one of us checked MY math. I had a typo in my multiplication.

6 * 8 = 48

93 - 48 = 45 meters below the surface

Answer 4

lol I came back just now to type about that.
also this problem has me lost

rewrite the division as a multiplication
-22/24= 22x?
and it states not to simplify write it as a fraction?
I have no clue but I tried this 1 1/22?
