Answer:
26ft/minute
Step-by-step explanation:
The question asks to calculate the rate at with a scuba diver is descending.
Firstly, we should know that the rate at which the scuba diver is descending is calculated as the total amount of distance descended, divided by the total amount of time taken.
The total amount of distance descended is 52ft + 130ft = 182ft
The total amount of time taken is 5 + 2= 7 minutes
The rate of descending is thus 182ft/7min = 26ft/minute
