a diver is exploring the water of the great barrier reef. she is currently - 5 feet from the surface of water and plans to explore a shipwreck that is at - 75 feet from the surface. if she moves at a rate of - 8 feet per minute how many minutes does it take the diver to reach the ship wreck

Answer: it will take the diver 8.75 minutes to reach the ship wreck.

Step-by-step explanation:

The diver is currently - 5 feet from the surface of water and plans to explore a shipwreck that is at - 75 feet from the surface. This means that the distance of the diver from the shipwreck would be - 70 feet ( - 5 - 70 = - 75 feet).

Distance = speed * time

Time = distance / speed

if she moves at a rate of - 8 feet per minute, it means that the number of minutes that it will take the diver to

reach the ship wreck would be

- 70 / - 8 = 8.75 minutes

Answer: it would take her about 9 minutes to get there (roughly 7.5)
