Answer:
28 ft below the surface.
Step-by-step explanation:
A scuba diver was 53 below the oceans surface. If he rises 25 feet, what is the new depth?
You subtract 25 ft from 53 ft leaving you with 28 ft.
53 ft
- <u>25 ft</u>
28 ft below the surface

42.3
(-4x2x0.8-3)=-9.4
-9.4/10=-0.94
-0.94x-45=42.3
The right answer is Option D.
Step-by-step explanation:
Distance of Team A = 6x+12
Distance of Team B = 4x-7
Difference between two teams means subtraction, therefore, subtracting the distance of Team B from Team A;
Combining alike terms;
The difference between two teams is 2x+19.
The right answer is Option D.

ANSWER
1.2 hours
EXPLANATION
Let x represent the number of hours it takes to complete the paint job.
The fraction of a job done per hour with both of them working is 1/x.
Lyle does 1/3 of the painting in one hour
(For example, if it took 3 hours to paint the room, then in one hour, only 1/3 of the room will be painted. In two hours, 1/3 + 1/3 = 2/3 of the room will be painted. In three hours, 1/3+1/3+1/3=3/3=1 of the room will be painted---completed)
Selena does 1/2 of the painting in one hour.
Therefore, for one hour, the fraction of the Job that Lyle does added with the fraction of the Job that Selena does is equal to 1/x, which is the fraction of the job done with both of them working
1/3 + 1/2 = 1/x
Multiply both sides of the equation by x
x/3 + x/2 = 1
Factor out x from the left side
x(1/3 + 1/2) = 1
Combine fractions. Get a common denominator for 1/3 and 1/2.
LCD of 1/3 and 1/2 is 6. 1/3 is equivalent to 2/6 and 1/2 is equivalent to 3/6.
x(2/6 + 3/6) = 1
x (5/6) = 1
x = 1 * 6/5
x = 6/5
x = 1.2 hours
ALTERNATIVE EXPLANTION:
job = rate · time ⇔ rate = job/time ⇔ time = job/rate
Lyle can do 1 paintjob of the room in 3 hours. Therefore, Lyle's rate is 1/3 paintjob per hour.
Selena can do 1 paintjob of the room in 2 hours. Therefore, Selena's rate is 1/2 paintjob per hour.
Their rate when working together is combined:
rate = 1/3 + 1/2 = 2/6 + 3/6 = 5/6
Since time = job/rate and we are interested in 1 paintjob, then job = 1 and
time = 1 / (5/6) = 6/5 = 1.2 hours
