Question

A bird flies from the bottom of a canyon that is 52

Answer 1

The difference in the elevation between the canyon and the bird's nest is 737. 3 feet

How to determine the value

From the information given, we have that;

• The distance below the sea level = 52 3/ 5 feet , this would take a negative value
• The distance above sea level = 789 3/ 10, this would take a positive value

Let's convert the mixed fractions to improper fraction;

= - 263/ 5 = - 52. 6 feet

789 3/ 10 = 7893/ 10 = 789. 3 feet

The difference in the elevation between the canyon and the bird's nest ;

= -52. 6 + 789. 9

= 737. 3 feet

Thus, the difference in the elevation between the canyon and the bird's nest is 737. 3 feet
