A scientist was in a submarine below sea level, studying ocean life. Over the next ten minutes, she dropped 88.6 feet. How many feet had she been below sea level, if she was 182.5 feet below sea level after she dropped?Answer: □ feet
Q. A scientist was in a submarine below sea level, studying ocean life. Over the next ten minutes, she dropped 88.6 feet. How many feet had she been below sea level, if she was 182.5 feet below sea level after she dropped?Answer: □ feet
Calculate Final Depth: To find out how many feet below sea level the scientist was before she dropped, we need to subtract the distance she dropped from her final depth.Calculation: 182.5 feet (final depth below sea level) - 88.6 feet (distance dropped)
Perform Subtraction: Perform the subtraction to find the initial depth below sea level. 182.5−88.6=93.9
