a submarine dives to a depth of 54.6 meters below the surface of the water in 4 minutes. what integer represents the constant rate the submarine travels per minute?



Answer :

AL2006

The average rate of dive is  (54.6 / 4) meters per minute.

That improper fraction can be simplified to  13.65  meters per minute.

The average dive rate is not an integer.  The nearest integer is  14 m/min.
