The water level of a river is below normal levels. It's water level is at 1 1/2 meters below sea level. During the summer, the river drops another 2 1/3 meters below sea level what is the water level at the end of summer
To find the total change in water level during the summer, we need to add the initial water level below sea level (1 1/2 meters) and the additional drop in water level (2 1/3 meters).
Converting both fractions to a common denominator of 6, we have:
1 1/2 meters = 3/2 meters
2 1/3 meters = 7/3 meters.
Adding these two fractions, we get:
3/2 meters + 7/3 meters = (9/6) meters + (14/6) meters = 23/6 meters.
Converting the fraction back to a mixed number, we have:
23/6 meters = 3 5/6 meters.
Therefore, the water level at the end of summer is 3 5/6 meters below sea level.
To find the water level at the end of summer, we need to add the initial water level below sea level to the drop in water level during the summer.
The initial water level is 1 1/2 meters below sea level.
During the summer, the river drops another 2 1/3 meters below sea level.
To add these two values, we need to convert them to a common fraction:
1 1/2 = (2/2) + (1/2) = 3/2
2 1/3 = (6/3) + (1/3) = 7/3
Now, we can add these fractions together:
3/2 + 7/3 = (9/6) + (14/6) = 23/6
Since the water level is measured below sea level, the water level at the end of summer is 23/6 meters below sea level.
