The Marianas Trench in the pacific ocean is the deepest part of the ocean. The depth is 6.85 mi. The speed of sound under water is 4700 ft/sec. Find the time it takes sound to travel from the surface to the bottom of the Mariannas Trench and back.
6.85 mi x 1 = 6.85/1x 5280 ft/1mi = 35168ft
3168ft x 1ft//4700sec. x60 sec/1min = 46.2 sec
