To solve the problem of how much time passes before the dolphin hears an echo, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Total Distance Traveled by the Sound:** - The dolphin emits a sound that travels down to the bottom of the ocean and then reflects back to the dolphin. The distance to the bottom of the ocean is 150 meters. - Therefore, the total distance the sound travels is: \[ ...
