Transcript text: Husan is deep sea diving. She traveled 50 feet below sea level. If she dove at a consistent rate for 5 minutes, how far did she travel every minute?
Solution
Solution Steps
To find out how far Husan traveled every minute, we need to divide the total distance she traveled by the total time she spent diving. This will give us the rate of her descent per minute.
Step 1: Determine Total Distance and Time
Husan traveled a total distance of \( 50 \) feet below sea level over a time period of \( 5 \) minutes.
Step 2: Calculate Distance per Minute
To find the distance traveled per minute, we use the formula:
\[
\text{Distance per minute} = \frac{\text{Total Distance}}{\text{Total Time}} = \frac{50 \text{ feet}}{5 \text{ minutes}} = 10 \text{ feet per minute}
\]
Final Answer
The distance Husan traveled every minute is \\(\boxed{10}\\).
