Adiver begins at sea level and dives down 200 feet. he ascends at a steady rate of 121/3 feet per minute for 4.5 minutes. this depth is represented by the numerical expression:

-200 + 121
3
(4.5)

simplify the expression using the order of operations. what is the diver’s depth?

-200 + 37
3
(4.5)

-200 + 55.5

The diver's depth is 144.5 feet below sea level.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's find out the answer using the information given:

Depth of the diver = - 200 feet (below sea level)

Ascent speed = 12 1/3 feet per minute

Ascent duration = 4.5 minutes

Diver's depth after the ascent = - 200 + 12 1/3 * (4.5)

Diver's depth after the ascent = - 200 + 37/3 * (4.5)

Diver's depth after the ascent = - 200 + 12.33 * (4.5)

Diver's depth after the ascent = - 200 + 55.5

Diver's depth after the ascent = - 144.5

After ascending 4.5 minutes, the diver will be 144.5 feet below sea level.

location: point 0

step-by-step explanation:

well, -8 to 10 on a number line is 18 spaces.

1/9 of 18 is 2.

so, 4/9 of 18 must be 8.

8 spaces from -8 (a) is 0.

so, 4/9 of the way from -8 to 10 is 0!
