T = k/D where T is the termperature and D is depth
4.6 = k/1000
k=4600
so T = 4600/D
when D=2500, T = 4600/2500 = 46/25 = 1 and 21/25 = 1.84 degrees Celsius
The water temperature of the ocean varies inversely as the water's depth. At a depth of 1000 meters, the water temperature is 4.6 degrees° Celsius. What is the water temperature at a depth of 2500 meters? At a depth of 2500 meters, the water temperature of the ocean is_______degrees° Celsius.
