Question

a fish dives into a depth of -3/4 miles below the surface of the water. A turtle's depth is 1/3 as deep as the fish's depth. What is the turtle's depth?

Answer 1

One mile = 5280 feet

-3/4 * 5280 = 1320(-3)

The depth of the fish is -3960 feet under the water.

A turtle is 1/3 * (-3960).

So, 1/3 * (-3960) = -1320(1).

The turtle's depth is -1320 feet under the water.
