Answer:

-5/24 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

The submarine descends at a rate of -5/6 miles every 4 minutes.

To find the depth of the submarine relative to sea level after the first minute, we have to multiply the rate of descent by he time spent (1 minute). That is:

=> D = -5 / (6 * 4) = -5/24 miles

Therefore, the submarine's depth is -5/24 miles.
