Answer: They are 37 feet apart each other
Step-by-step explanation:
We are told that two divers are at a certain distance between them. The first diver is at a depth of 122 ft and the second diver is at a depth of 159 feet.
Note we are talking about depth, since both divers are below sea level.
Now, if we want to know the distance that separates them, we only have to take the difference between both depths:
[tex]159 ft-122 ft=37 ft[/tex] This is the distance beweent both divers.
This means they have to reduce their distance by 2 feet in order to accomplish the safety rules.
