Max is scuba diving at an elevation of −64.5 feet when his friend signals to come higher. Max makes two ascents, each an equal distance, to reach an elevation of −21.4 feet, where his friend is located. What was Max's elevation after his first ascent? Enter your answer as a decimal in the box.

Answer:

-42.95ft

Step-by-step explanation:

First, find the change in elevation between where Max starts and where his friends are:

-21.4ft-(-64.5ft)=43.1ft

Since we're told that he makes two equidistant ascents, we know that each ascent would be equal to:

43.1ft/2=21.55ft

Now we take the height that he started at and add the height that he would gain in his first ascent

-64.5ft+21.55ft=42.95ft
