Answer:
258.54 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1
We convert 60 meters to feet
1 meter = 3.28084 feet
60 meters = x
Cross Multiply
x = 60 × 3.28084 feet
x = 196.8504 feet
60 meters = 196.8504 feet
Step 2
How many feet can it dive in 6 minutes and 34 seconds
We convert 34 seconds to minutes
60 seconds = 1 minute
34 seconds = x
Cross Multiply
60 × x = 34 × 1
x = 34/60
x = 0.567 minutes
So, 6 minutes and 34 seconds = 6 + 0.567 minutes = 6.567 minutes.
60 meters in 5 minutes.
60 meters = 196.8504 feet
Hence:
5 minutes = 196.8504 feet
6.567 minutes = x
Cross Multiply
5x = 6.567 × 196.8504 feet
5x = 1292.7165768 feet
x = 1292.7165768/5
x = 258.54331536 feet
Approximately = 258.54 feet
Therefore, the submarine can dive 258.54 feet in 6 minutes 34 seconds
