The water in fish tank has evaporated so it was 5/8 inch below the level it should be they added water and the water level went up 3/4 inch did the water level end up above or below where it should be
Which is greater? 5/8 or 6/8?
6/8
6/8 = 3/4
oooooooohhhhhh so it's bigger than before!!!
You have 5 eighth of water you add 3 fourth is ut above or below the water level
To determine whether the water level in the fish tank ended up above or below where it should be, we need to calculate the final water level.
First, let's find the initial water level by converting the fraction "5/8 inch below the level it should be" into a decimal. To do this, subtract 5/8 from 1 (since it was below the proper level) to get 3/8. Therefore, the initial water level was 3/8 inch below where it should be.
Next, we need to determine the amount of water added to the tank, which is given as 3/4 inch.
To find the final water level, we add the initial water level (3/8 inch below) to the amount of water added (3/4 inch):
3/8 + 3/4 = 6/8 + 6/8 = 12/8 inch.
Simplifying 12/8 to its simplest form, we get 1 4/8 or 1 1/2 inch.
Therefore, the water level in the fish tank ended up 1 1/2 inch above where it should be.
