Question

the small submarine is -1,320 feet in relation to sea level. the submarine needs to be 180 feet below sea level in 60 minutes. how far must the submarine travel?

Answer 1

The sub is at 1320 ft below sea level and must get to 180 ft below sea level

do 180 - 1320.

it comes out to 1140.

Which means, the sub must travel 1140 feet.

Must travel 19 feet per minute to do 1140 feet in 60 minutes.

Answer 2

Answer:

1140 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that the small submarine is -1,320 feet in relation to sea level. the submarine needs to be 180 feet below sea level in 60 minutes.

To find the distance traveled by submarine we will subtract initial position of submarine from final position of submarine.

$\text{Total distance covered by submarine}=-180-(-1,320)$

$\text{Total distance covered by submarine}=-180+1,320$

$\text{Total distance covered by submarine}=1140$

Therefore, submarine traveled 1140 feet.
