Max is scuba diving at an elevation of −64.5 feet when his friend signals to come higher. Max makes two ascents, each an equal distance, to reach an elevation of −21.4 feet, where his friend is located. What was Max’s elevation after his first ascent? Enter your answer as a decimal in the box.

Answers

  1. Answer:
    -42.95ft
    Step-by-step explanation:
    First, find the change in elevation between where Max starts and where his friends are:
    -21.4ft-(-64.5ft)=43.1ft
    Since we’re told that he makes two equidistant ascents, we know that each ascent would be equal to:
    43.1ft/2=21.55ft
    Now we take the height that he started at and add the height that he would gain in his first ascent
    -64.5ft+21.55ft=42.95ft
