Answer :

Final Answer :

The sea turtle made 115 dives in 3 hours.

Therefore, the sea turtle made 115 dives in 3 hours. The correct option is G.

Explanation:

The rate of dives per hour can be calculated by dividing the total number of dives (460) by the total number of hours (12):

Rate = Total dives / Total hours

Rate = 460 / 12

Rate = 38.33 dives per hour (approximately)

To find out how many dives the sea turtle made in 3 hours, we can multiply the rate by 3:

Dives in 3 hours = Rate * 3

Dives in 3 hours = 38.33 * 3

Dives in 3 hours = 115 (rounded to the nearest whole number)

Therefore, the sea turtle made 115 dives in 3 hours. The correct option is G.
