Arthur is playing in his room, which is 24.3 feet above ground. He then descends 39.9 feet to the basement, where is uncle is working in his woodshop. If ground level is 0 feet, which number best describes the location of the basement woodshop?(1 point)
−15.6
15.6 feet
64.2 feet
−64.2
To determine the location of the basement woodshop, we need to calculate the vertical position of the woodshop relative to ground level.
Arthur's room is 24.3 feet above ground level, and he descends 39.9 feet to the basement. By subtracting the descent from the room's height, we can find the location of the basement woodshop:
24.3 feet - 39.9 feet = -15.6 feet
Therefore, the woodshop is located at -15.6 feet.
To find the best description for the location of the basement woodshop, we need to determine the final height from ground level after descending 39.9 feet from a starting height of 24.3 feet.
To do this, we subtract the height Arthur descends from the starting height:
24.3 feet - 39.9 feet = -15.6 feet
From the calculation, we can see that the final height is -15.6 feet. This indicates that the basement woodshop is 15.6 feet below ground level.
Therefore, the best description for the location of the basement woodshop is -15.6 feet. So the answer is −15.6.
15.6 feet
