The elevation of a sunken ship is -120 feet. Your Elevation is 5/8 of the ship's elevation. What is your elevation?
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: \(-75\text{ feet}\)
Step-by-step explanation:
Given : The elevation of a sunken ship is -120 feet.
Also, Your Elevation is \(\dfrac{5}{8}\) of the ship's elevation.
Then by using the MULTIPLICATION OPERATION, your elevation will be given by :-
\(\dfrac{5}{8}\times -120\text{ feet}=-75\text{ feet}\)
Hence, your elevation is \(-75\text{ feet}\)
