Answer:

The equipment elevator is positioned 481 feet closer and the miner equipment is positioned 342 feet closer relative to the surface. The equipment elevator is deeper.

Step-by-step explanation:

The rate that both elevators descend are the same according to the information given in the question.

After 18 seconds, the equipment elevator has descended 18 x 13 = 234 feet.

After another 19 seconds, the equipment elevator has descended for a total of 37 seconds which results in 481 feet and the miner elevator has descended for 19 seconds which gives us a descend of 342 feet.

So they are 481 and 342 feet closer relative to the surface and the equipment elevator is deeper since it has descended for a longer period of time.

I hope this answer helps.
