35 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Starting time of the dive of scuba diver = 2:42 PM

Ending time of the dive of scuba diver = 3:17 PM

To find:

Time for which the dive lasted?

Solution:

First of all, let us understand the concept of time.

1 hour of time is competed when 60 minutes are over.

Therefore, after 2:42 PM, 03:00 PM time is taken when 60 minutes are over.

Initially, number of minutes = 42

Number of minutes to 3:00 PM = 60 - 42 = 18 minutes

And up to the time, 3:17 PM, number of minutes = 17 minutes

Total time for which the dive lasted = 17 + 18 = 35 minutes

answer: the answer is one of

step-by-step explanation:   we are given to write a proper fraction where the whole is divided into an even number of equal parts less than ten, and an odd number of those parts exist.

an even number less than 10 may be one of 2, 4, 6 or 8. so, the whole may be one of these four evens.

now, an odd number of these parts must exist, so the numerator must be an odd number, one of 1, 3, 5 or 7. it cannot be 9 because then the fraction will become improper.

thus, our fraction may be one of the following
