Solution

To solve this problem, you need to divide the total distance the submarine needs to travel (240 meters) by the distance it travels each minute (10 meters).

So, 240 meters ÷ 10 meters/minute = 24 minutes.

Therefore, it will take the submarine 24 minutes to reach a depth of 240 meters. So, the answer is d24.
