44•33 = 1452 m.

so, Zane start from 1313 + 1452 = 2765 m below the edge.

to reach the edge with constant speed, Zane need 2765/44 = 62.84 seconds

we can round it to 63 seconds

Answer: Zane was 25 meters below the edge of the volcano when he started and he took 6.25 seconds to reach the edge of volcano.
