Lake acid has a depth of 120ft below the surface. Lake placid is 1/3 as deep. How deep is Lake placid? Use appropriate integer to account for elevation
Lake placid is 40 feet deep.
To find the depth of Lake Placid, which is 1/3 as deep as Lake Acid, we need to multiply the depth of Lake Acid by 1/3.
Given that the depth of Lake Acid is 120ft, we can calculate the depth of Lake Placid as follows:
Depth of Lake Placid = Depth of Lake Acid * 1/3
Depth of Lake Placid = 120ft * 1/3
To simplify the calculation, we can multiply the numerator and denominator by 40:
Depth of Lake Placid = 120ft * (1/3) * (40/40)
Depth of Lake Placid = 120ft * 40/120
Depth of Lake Placid = (120ft * 40) / 120
Depth of Lake Placid = 4800ft / 120
Finally, we can divide 4800ft by 120 to find the depth of Lake Placid:
Depth of Lake Placid = 4800ft / 120
Depth of Lake Placid = 40ft
Therefore, Lake Placid is 40ft deep.
To determine the depth of Lake Placid, we can start by finding one-third of the depth of Lake Acid, which is 120 feet.
To do this, we can perform the following calculation:
Depth of Lake Placid = (1/3) * Depth of Lake Acid
Converting the fraction to a decimal:
Depth of Lake Placid = (1/3) * 120 ft
Evaluating the equation:
Depth of Lake Placid = (1/3) * 120 ft = 40 ft
Therefore, Lake Placid is 40 feet deep.
