The water level of a river is below normal levels. Its water level is at 112
meters below sea level. During the summer, the river drops another 213
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.(1 point)
The water level is
meters below sea level.
The answers for the practice would be:
1. A=Compare
2. -36
3. -3 5/6
4. 3.5
5. 374.9
To find the water level at the end of summer, we need to add the initial water level below sea level to the drop during the summer.
Initial water level: 112 meters below sea level
Drop during summer: 213 meters below sea level
To find the final water level, we add these two amounts:
112 meters below sea level + 213 meters below sea level = 325 meters below sea level
Therefore, the water level at the end of summer is 325 meters below sea level.
To find the water level at the end of summer, we need to add the additional drop in the water level to the initial level of 112 meters below sea level.
Starting with the initial level of the river, which is 112 meters below sea level, we add the additional drop of 213 meters below sea level during the summer.
112 meters (initial level) + 213 meters (additional drop) = 325 meters below sea level
Therefore, the water level at the end of summer is 325 meters below sea level.
