Asubmarine started at the surface of the water and was moving down at -14 kilometers per minutes toward the ocean floor. the submarine traveled at this rate for 44 minutes before coming to rest on the ocean floor. what is the depth of the ocean floor?

The submarine would have traveled 616 km, if it was traveling straight down.

If it is going down 14 kilometers per minute, then we just need to multiply it by the number of minutes.

14 x 44 = 616

Is the submarine going straight down, or did you leave something out of the problem?
