Answer:

  2 feet below the ground level at the place where he started.

Step-by-step explanation:

After he adds 12 feet of elevation to the 6 feet above ground level where he launched, Mr Burnam is 6+12 = 18 feet above the ground level where he launched.

If he descends 20 feet, he will be 18 -20 = -2 feet above the ground level where he launched. That is, he is 2 feet below the ground level where he launched. We hope the ground slopes downward somewhat so Mr Burnam is not buried in the ground at that point.

The coffee Lily likes is composed of 97.3% water and 2.7% cocoa. The coffee John likes is composed of 96% water and 4% cocoa. Ho
mestny [16]

30 ounces of the coffee John likes consists of

  • 0.96\cdot30=28.8 ounces of water
  • 0.04\cdot30=1.2 ounces of cocoa

To this mixture we're adding x ounces of water, so that the new mix has a total volume of 30+x ounces and matches the composition of the coffee Lily likes. This means it would consist of

  • 0.973\cdot(30+x)=28.8+x ounces of water
  • 0.027\cdot(30+x)=1.2 ounces of cocoa (same amount of cocoa as before because pure water is being added)

Solve for x:

0.973(30+x)=28.8+x\implies29.12+0.973x=28.8+x

\implies0.39=0.027x

\implies x\approx14.4

###

Just to confirm: the new mixture consists of

  • 28.8+14.4=43.2 ounces of water
  • 1.2+0=1.2 ounces of cocoa

giving a total volume of 43.2+1.2=44.4 ounces of coffee, and \dfrac{43.2}{44.4}\approx0.973, as required.
