Question 407673: a submarine descended from a depth of -546 to -1814 meters in a 2-hr. period. what was the average change in depth per hour during this time? Answer by unlockmath(1688) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Hello,
First let's determine how far the sub sank.
-546 -(-1814)=1268 meters
Now divide this by 2 and we get:
634 meters per hour.
Make sense?
