Question

A submarine descends at a rate of 2.6 kilometers per hour. If the ocean floor is 6.24 kilometers below sea level, how long will it take the submarine to descend to the ocean floor?

Answer 1

Answer

Find out the how long will it take the submarine to descend to the ocean floor

To proof

Formula

$r = \frac{d}{t}$

where  d  =  distance traveled (or descended),

r  = rate of travel , t  = time

As given

A submarine descends at a rate of 2.6 kilometers per hour. If the ocean floor is 6.24 kilometers below sea level .

put all the values in the above formula

$2.6 = \frac{6.24}{t}$

$t = \frac{6.24}{2.6}$

t = 2.4 hour

it take 2.4 hours the submarine to descend to the ocean floor .

Hence proved
