Question

A fish dives into a depth of -3/4 mile 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

For this case, what we must do is multiply the depth of the fish by the fraction of depth of the turtle.
 We have then:
 (-3/4) * (1/3) = (- 3 * 1) / (4 * 3) = - 1/4 mile
 Therefore, the depth of the turtle on the surface of the water is:
 -1/4 mile
 Answer:
 the turtle's depth is:
 -1/4 mile
