Instead of doing it for you, I'll do one exactly like it instead"

The pressure (P) on a diver in the water varies directly as the depth (d). If the pressure is 4.95 psi when the depth is 9 ft, what is the pressure when the depth is 16 ft? The pressure (P) on a diver in the water varies directly as the depth (d). If the pressure is 4.95 psi when the depth is 9 ft, what is the pressure when the depth is 16 ft? Substitute 0.55 for k in Substitute 16 for d Answer: 8.8 psi Now do yours the same way. Edwin
