Let’s check out your problem:

The water pressure on Mustafa as he dives is increasing at a rate of 0.992 atmospheres (atm) per meter 
(m).
What is the rate of increase in water pressure in 
(atm)/(km) ?

(atm)/(km)

The water pressure on Mustafa as he dives is increasing at a rate of 00.992992 atmospheres (atm) per meter (m) (\mathrm{m}) .\newlineWhat is the rate of increase in water pressure in atmkm \frac{\mathrm{atm}}{\mathrm{km}} ?\newline\squareatmkm\frac{\mathrm{atm}}{\mathrm{km}}

Q. The water pressure on Mustafa as he dives is increasing at a rate of 00.992992 atmospheres (atm) per meter (m) (\mathrm{m}) .\newlineWhat is the rate of increase in water pressure in atmkm \frac{\mathrm{atm}}{\mathrm{km}} ?\newline\squareatmkm\frac{\mathrm{atm}}{\mathrm{km}}
  1. Convert to kilometers: Convert the rate of increase from meters to kilometers.\newlineSince there are 1,0001,000 meters in a kilometer, we need to multiply the rate per meter by 1,0001,000 to find the rate per kilometer.\newline0.992atm/m×1,000m/km=992atm/km0.992 \, \text{atm}/\text{m} \times 1,000 \, \text{m}/\text{km} = 992 \, \text{atm}/\text{km}
  2. Check calculation: Check the calculation for any mathematical errors.\newlineMultiplying 0.9920.992 by 1,0001,000 should shift the decimal point three places to the right, resulting in 992992.\newline0.992×1,000=9920.992 \times 1,000 = 992\newlineThis confirms that the calculation in Step 11 is correct.
