Amalia's position compared to sea level after 25 minutes = 36.75 foot below sea level

Step-by-step explanation:

Amalia is scuba diving at a position 24.25 feet below sea level.

Initial position = 24.25 feet below sea level

She descends 0.5 foot each minute for 25 minutes.

Average descendant = 0.5 foot per minute

Time of descendant = 25 minutes

Distance descended = 25 x 0.5 = 12.5 foot

Final position = 24.25 + 12.5 = 36.75 foot below sea level

Amalia's position compared to sea level after 25 minutes = 36.75 foot below sea level
