Answer:

[tex]\frac{3}{2}=1\frac{1}{2} =1.5 m[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi!

In this case we have to write a proportion. Let's use x to represent how long it will take the diver to dive to a depth of 5 kilometers.

So the proportion will look like this:

30m ~~ 9m

5m ~~ xm

This can be written as:

[tex]\frac{30}{5}=\frac{9}{x} \\6=\frac{9}{x} \\6x=9\\x=\frac{9}{6}\\ x=\frac{3}{2}[/tex]m
