Answer 1

561/4

Explanation:

Given that:

Height of first hill (f) = 255 feets

Height of second hill (s) = 11/20 the height of first hill

Height of second hill (s) = 11/20 of 255

Calculate the height of second hill:

s = 11/20 * 255

(11 * 255) / 20

= 2805 / 20

= 561 / 4

Height of second hill = 561/4
