Question

A diver dove from a board that was 6 3/4 feet above the water's surface, and descended until he was 8 1/3 feet below the water's surface. What was the total distance that the diver desceded?

Answer 1

Answer:

15 1/12 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Well if he descended 8 1/3 feet below the water, that means he must've went from board to water which is 6 3/4 feet then down 8 1/3 feet

6 3/4 + 8 1/3

= 6 9/12 + 8 4/12

=15 1/12 feet
