Math Question: A scuba diver descends in the water at a rate of 2312 feet per minute for 2.6 minutes. He immediately changes course when he sees a large fish and ascends at a rate of 28 feet per minute for 2 minutes. What is the scuba diver's position relative to sea level after the 4.6 minutes?

Math Answers
Distance = rate x time
(-2312 ft/minute) × (2.6 minutes) = -6011.2 feet
(+28 ft/minute) × (2 minutes) = +56 feet
-6011.2+56= -5955.2 feet
5955.2 feet below sea level
