Answer: it will take 2.7 hours to get to the surface
Step-by-step explanation:
A submarine was stationed 700 feet below sea level. It means that the height of the submarine from the surface is 700 feet.
It ascends 259 feet every hour.
If the submarine continues to ascend at the same rate, the time it will take for it to get to the surface will be the distance from the surface divided by its constant speed.
Time taken to get to the surface
700/259 = 2.7 hours
