Q. A scientist was in a submarine below sea level, studying ocean life. Over the next ten minutes, she went down 3636.33 feet. How many feet had she been below sea level, if she was 9999.77 feet below sea level after she went down?\newlineAnswer: \square feet
  1. Calculate Initial Depth: To find out how deep the scientist was before descending the additional 36.336.3 feet, we need to subtract the distance she went down from her final depth below sea level.\newlineCalculation: 99.799.7 feet (final depth) - 36.336.3 feet (distance descended) = 63.463.4 feet (initial depth below sea level).
