Question

A bird was perched on a tree at a height of 19 feet. The bird then saw food on a branch below and dropped down 7 1/2 feet. What is the current height of the bird?

Answer 1

19-7.5 = 11.5 or 11 and 1/2 or 23/2

:)

Answer 2

11 1/2 feet

Explanation:

You simply subtract 19 and 7 1/2 because the bird dropped down which means it is closer to the ground, therefore, subtracting its original height at 19 feet. Hope that helped.
