Question

Laurie was scuba diving. Each time she dove 5 feet deeper, she would stop and clear her ears. After Laurie had checked her instruments 3 times, she was at her maximum depth of 60 feet. Which expression best represents Laurie's maximum depth? (4) (negative 5) (3) (Negative 4) (Negative 5) (Negative 3) (Negative 5) (20) (3) (Negative 5) (Negative 20) (Negative 3)

Answer 1

Complete question :

Answer:

(-5) * (20) * (3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Diving 5 feets deeper = descent = negative 5 Feets

Each time instrument is checked = (60/3) = depth of 20 feets

Number of times instrument is checked = 3

Hence, maximum depth :

Diving 5 feets deeper * Each time instrument is checked = depth of 20 feets * Number of times instrument is checked

(-5) * (20) * (3) = - 60
