    dive below = 5 1/4 ft

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Dive above water + dive below water = total dive

    We know the dive above water is 3 1/2 ft

    The total length of the dive is 8 3/4 ft

    Substitute in what we know

    3 1/2 + dive below = 8 3/4

    get a common denominator of 4

    3 1/2*2/2 + dive below = 8 3/4

    3 2/4 + dive below = 8 3/4

    Subtract 3 2/4 from each side

    3 2/4 - 3 2/4 + dive below = 8 3/4 - 3 2/4

    dive below = 5 1/4 ft
