Question

The elevation of a sunken ship is -120 feet. Your Elevation is 5/8 of the ship's elevation. What is your elevation?

Answer 1

U would multiply 5/8 and -120/1 and you should get -600/8 but u have to make it into a mixed number which would be 75.

Answer 2

Answer:
`-75\text{ feet}`

Explanation:

Given : The elevation of a sunken ship is -120 feet.

Also, Your Elevation is
`(5)/(8)` of the ship's elevation.

Then by using the MULTIPLICATION OPERATION, your elevation will be given by :-

`(5)/(8)* -120\text{ feet}=-75\text{ feet}`

Hence, your elevation is
`-75\text{ feet}`
