Question

2. A diver is at an elevation of -12 metres relative to the sea level. The diver descends to an under sea cave that
is 5 times as far from the surface. How much more (in metres) does the diver have to descend in order to
reach the cave?
​

Answer 1

The diver has to descend 48 meters more to reach the cave.

Step-by-step explanation:

A diver is at an elevation of - 12 meters relative to the sea level. Now, the diver descends to an undersea cave that  is 5 times as far from the surface.

Therefore, the undersea cave is at - (12× 5) = - 60 meters relative to the sea level.

Hence, the diver has to descend (60 - 12) = 48 meters more to reach the cave. (Answer)

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

-12×5=-60

He already on a elevation of -12

-60-12=-48 more to reach the cave
