The water level of a river is below normal levels. Its water level is at 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.

previous answer was wrong):
Apologies for the incorrect previous answer. Let's calculate the correct water level at the end of summer.
Initial level: 1 1/2 meters below sea level, which can be written as 3/2 meters below sea level.
Additional drop during summer: 2 1/3 meters below sea level, which can be written as 7/3 meters below sea level.
To find the total drop in the water level, we need to add the initial level and the additional drop:
3/2 + 7/3
To add these fractions, we need to find a common denominator:
3/2 can be written as 9/6
7/3 can be written as 14/6
Now we can add the fractions:
9/6 + 14/6 = 23/6
Therefore, at the end of summer, the water level of the river is 23/6 meters below sea level.
wrong give the right answer or i will fail
Apologies for the confusion. Let's recalculate the water level at the end of summer correctly.
Initial level: 1 1/2 meters below sea level, which can be written as 3/2 meters below sea level.
Additional drop during summer: 2 1/3 meters below sea level, which can be written as 7/3 meters below sea level.
To find the total drop in the water level, we need to add the initial level and the additional drop:
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:
(3/2)*(3/3) + (7/3)*(2/2)
= 9/6 + 14/6
= 23/6
Therefore, at the end of summer, the water level of the river is 23/6 meters below sea level.

Apologies for the confusion. Let's recalculate the water level at the end of summer correctly.
Initial level: 1 1/2 meters below sea level, which can be written as -3/2 meters (negative because it is below sea level).
Additional drop during summer: 2 1/3 meters below sea level, which can be written as -7/3 meters (negative because it is below sea level).
To find the total drop in the water level, we need to add the initial level and the additional drop:
-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:
(-3/2)*(3/3) + (-7/3)*(2/2)
= -9/6 + (-14/6)
= -23/6
Therefore, at the end of summer, the water level of the river is -23/6 meters below sea level.
