You can put this solution on YOUR website!
If for every 1 meter a diver descends, the light intensity is reduced by 2.5%, then for 100 meters the diver descends:
\n" ); document.write( "BY RATIO & PROP: $\"0.025%2F1meter=x%2F100meters\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x=0.025%2A100=2.5\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x=2.5%2A100percent\"$ =250%, percent of light intensity reduced
\n" ); document.write( "Thank you,
