Question

A turtle went 80 m deep into the water. After that, it swam 3 m up towards the water surface every minute. Choose the integer that represents the position of the turtle from the surface of the water after 15 minutes.

Answer 1

Answer:

-35

Step-by-step explanation:

let the distance inside the water he travel=-80m

and the distance he swam up every 1min=+ 3M

so after 15min he will travel=+3×15=+45m

so his position after 15min will be =+45+(-80)

=-35m

can be said that after 15min the turtle will be 35m below the water surface
