at what depth could the scientist take a new sample would be shallower than the shallowest sample?
day depth/ft below lake surface
monday: -1 3/8
tuesday: -0.4
wednesday: -1.55
thursday: -9/16

can someone pleeaaaseee help!!!!!!!!
is anyone gonna answer please?
-0.3
I answered.
I have the same problem but cannot find an answer
Can someone please tell me...please?
I know I shouldn't ask here but can someone answer this?
Lauren says that-3.36 (36 repeating) is greater than -3 1/3. Do you agree? Explain
Ms sue, can you please answer cool's question
To find the depth at which a new sample would be shallower than the shallowest sample, we need to compare the depths given for each day.
Looking at the given depths in the problem, we can convert them all to decimals for easier comparison:
Monday: -1 3/8 = -1.375 ft
Tuesday: -0.4 ft
Wednesday: -1.55 ft
Thursday: -9/16 ft = -0.5625 ft
To find the shallowest depth, we need to identify the smallest value among these four depths. In this case, the shallowest depth is -1.55 ft on Wednesday.
Now, let's consider the question - at what depth could the scientist take a new sample that is shallower than -1.55 ft. To answer this, we need to find a depth smaller than -1.55 ft.
Looking at the given depths, we see that the shallowest sample is -1.375 ft. To find a depth shallower than this, we need to look at decimal numbers that are less than -1.375 on a number line.
Referring to the worksheet prompt "Rational numbers on a number line Practice !0-3," we can draw a number line with negative values and locate the range of numbers from -1.55 to -1.375. By examining the number line, we can identify a depth that is shallower than -1.55 ft. For example, a depth of -1.6 ft would be shallower than -1.55 ft.
Therefore, a new sample could be taken at a depth of -1.6 ft to be shallower than the shallowest sample of -1.55 ft.
