Answer 1

Approximately 5 kilometers, below the sea's  surface is the vent

Solution:

Given that,

The vent is 3.1 miles below the sea's surface

To find: kilometers below the sea's  surface is the vent

From given,

1 kilometer = 0.6214 miles

Use the above conversion factor and convert 3.1 miles to kilometers

From above,

$1\ miles = \frac{1}{0.6214}\ kilometers$

Therefore,

$3.1\ miles = \frac{3.1}{0.6214}\ kilometers = 4.988 \approx 5\ kilometers$

Thus, approximately 5 kilometers, below the sea's  surface is the vent
