Deep Lake has a depth of 90ft. Lake Okeechobee is 2/15 as deep. What is the elevation at the BOTTOM of Lake Okeechobee?
180 ft.
-180 ft.
12 ft.
- 12 ft.
Lake Okeechobee is 2/15 as deep as Deep Lake, which means it is 2/15 * 90 ft = <<2/15*90=12>>12 ft deep.
The elevation at the bottom of Lake Okeechobee is -12 ft.
To find the elevation at the bottom of Lake Okeechobee, we first need to calculate the depth of Lake Okeechobee using the information given.
Given that Deep Lake has a depth of 90 ft and Lake Okeechobee is 2/15 as deep, we can calculate the depth of Lake Okeechobee as follows:
Depth of Lake Okeechobee = (2/15) * 90 ft = 12 ft.
Therefore, the elevation at the bottom of Lake Okeechobee would be -12 ft.
To find the elevation at the bottom of Lake Okeechobee, we need to calculate 2/15 of the depth of Deep Lake (90ft).
First, we calculate 2/15 of 90ft:
(2/15) * 90ft = 12ft.
This means that Lake Okeechobee is 12ft deep.
However, the elevation at the bottom of a lake is typically measured as a negative value, representing that it is below sea level.
Therefore, the correct answer is -12ft.
