Question

a diver was collecting water samples from a lake. he collected a sample at every 3m, starting at 5m below water surface. the final sample was collected at a depth of 35m.how many sample did he collected​

Answer 1

The diver collected water samples at every 3 meters, starting from 5 meters below the water surface, up to a final depth of 35 meters.

We can find the number of samples collected by dividing the total depth range by the distance between each sample and then adding 1 to include the first sample.

The total depth range is:

35 m - 5 m = 30 m

The distance between each sample is 3 m, so the number of samples is:

(30 m) / (3 m/sample) + 1 = 10 + 1 = 11

Therefore, the diver collected a total of 11 water samples.
