    The answer would be 1.5 feet.

    To solve it, you take 3.75 feet and subtract 2.25 feet; so basically you just needed to find the difference between the heights.

    The reasoning behind this, is you are starting at 2.25 feet, and then going down 3.75 feet. So if 0 represents the very top of the water, then going down 3.75 ft from 2.25 ft. would be - 1.5. What this means in terms of depth is that you'll be 1.5 ft below the surface of the water, or put more simply: you will be 1.5 feet deep in the water.

    1.5 deep.

    you subtract 2.25 of air space from the total depth 3.75

    3.75-2.25=1.5
