Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

First we need to get the total minutes used by the submarine from 10:57 A.M to 11:03 A.M. The total minutes used within the specified period of time is 6 minutes.

If its depth then changed at a rate of 8 feet per minute, the submarine depth after 6 minutes will be expressed as shown;

8 feet = 1minute

x feet = 6 minutes

cross multiply;

x * 1 = 8 * 6

x = 48 feet

Hence the submarine depth at 11.03AM is 48 feet
