The water level of a river is below normal levels. Its water level is 1 1/2 meters below sea level. During the summer, the river drops another 2 1/3 meters below sea level. What is the water level at the end of summer? Remember, the elevation is below sea level. Account for this in your answer.

To find the water level at the end of summer, we need to calculate the total drop below sea level.

The initial water level is 1 1/2 meters below sea level.
The drop during summer is 2 1/3 meters below sea level.

To find the total drop, we add the initial drop to the drop during summer:

1 1/2 + 2 1/3 = 3/2 + 7/3

To add these fractions, we need to find a common denominator. The least common multiple of 2 and 3 is 6.

Multiplying the fractions to have a common denominator of 6, we get:

(3/2) * (3/3) + (7/3) * (2/2)
= 9/6 + 14/6

Adding the fractions, we have:

(9 + 14) / 6
= 23/6

So, at the end of summer, the water level of the river is 23/6 meters below sea level.

simplify

To simplify the water level at the end of summer, we need to express the fraction 23/6 in simplest form.

Since 23 and 6 have no common factors (other than 1), the fraction 23/6 cannot be simplified further.

Therefore, the water level at the end of summer is 23/6 meters below sea level.

To find the difference between rational numbers representing the distances of two different stores from home, the key word you can look for is "difference." This indicates that you are calculating the numerical value obtained by subtracting one rational number from the other. In the context of comparing distances, you would subtract the distance of one store from the distance of another store to find the difference.
