A girl is snorkeling 1meter below sea level and then dives down another 0.5 meters. How far below sea level is the girl?
Answers
Answer:
She is 1.5 meters below the sea level
Explanation:
The sea level is indicated by the number 0
What's above the sea level is indicated by +ve numbers
What's below the sea level is indicated by -ve numbers
We know that:
originally, her depth was 1 meter below the sea level
This means that her original depth is -1
Now, she dives an extra 0.5 meters, to get her final depth, we would add -0.5 to the original -1 meters
This means that:
her depth = -1 + (-0.5) = -1.5 meters
where the negative sign indicates that she is below the sea level
Hope this helps :)

Answer:
3.5 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given that
Total distance covered in a race=14 miles
Total number of persons=4
Each person runs equal parts of the race.
We have to find the miles run by each person.
To find the distance covered by each person we will divide the total distance by total number of persons who took part in a race.
Each person runs =
Each person runs=
Each person runs=3.5 miles
Hence, each person runs 3.5 miles.
14 ÷ 4= 3.5
So each person ran 3.5 miles

In order to reduce ANY fraction to lowest terms, find any common factors
of the numerator and denominator, and divide them both by it. If they still
have a common factor, then divide them by it again. Eventually, they won't
have any common factor except ' 1 ', and then you'll know that the fraction is
in lowest terms.
Do 15 and 40 have any common factors ?
Let's see . . .
The factors of 15 are 1, 3, 5, and 15 .
The factors of 40 are 1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 10, 20, and 40 .
Ah hah ! Do you see that ' 5 ' on both lists ? That's a common factor.
So 15/40 is NOT in lowest terms.
Divide the numerator and denominator both by 5 :
15 / 40 = 3 / 8
3 and 8 don't have any common factor except ' 1 '.
So 3/8 is the same number as 15/40, but in lowest terms.
