Correct Answer:

B) -27 1/24

The depth in yards, in relation to the surface of the water [tex]-27\frac{1}{24}[/tex]. Therefore, option B is the correct answer.

Given that, a diver dives 17 2/3 deep the first time and the second time diver dives 9 3/8 deeper than the first dive.

We need to find the depth, in yards, in relation to the surface of the water.

How to add mixed fractions?

Steps to add mixed fractions:

Step 1: Find the Lowest Common Multiple (LCM) between the denominators.

Step 2: Multiply the numerator and denominator of each fraction by a number so that they have the LCM as their new denominator.

Step 3: Add or subtract the numerators and keep the denominator the same.

Now, [tex]-17\frac{2}{3} -9\frac{3}{8} =-26(\frac{2}{3}+\frac{3}{8} )[/tex]

[tex]=-26\frac{25}{24} =-27\frac{1}{24}[/tex]

The depth in yards, in relation to the surface of the water [tex]-27\frac{1}{24}[/tex]. Therefore, option B is the correct answer.
