Question 8
A scuba diver was thirty feet below the surface of the water and ascended
thirteen and a half feet. The diver then descended an additional fifteen feet
from the surface of the water. What is the location of the diver in the water?
a.-48 feet
b.-31.5 feet
c. - 27.5 feet
X d. -28 feet
The scuba diver is 30 feet below, and ascend means up, so you subtract 13.5, and descend means down down so you add 15. That’s how you get the answer.
