A diver in the Olympics dives off a platform 15 m above the water’s surface and descends to a depth of 5 m below the surface. How many meters are traveled by the diver during the dive ?

Let the water surface be 0.

He starts at 15 and gets to the water surface of 0 so he travels 15 meters.

He then goes 5 meters below the surface.

15 + 5 = 20 total meters.

30 miles

step-by-step explanation:

we know that 60 seconds equals 1 minute and 60 minutes 1 hour

44 ft       60 sec     60 min     158400   ft

  *   *   =

1 sec       1 min       1 hour         hour

we know that there are 5280 ft per mile

158400   ft       1 mile         30 miles

  *   =

1   hour               5280 ft     1 hour

so in 1 hour   it can travel 30 miles
