Solution

(i) To find out how far the diver should travel in each of the 5 descents, you need to divide the total distance (100 feet) by the number of descents (5).

On a number line, this would look like marking off 5 equal segments between 0 and 100.

(ii) To solve this problem, you can set up a division problem: 100 ÷ 5 = ?. The solution to this problem will give you the distance the diver should travel in each descent.
