Question

Jonah was standing at an elevation somewhere between-1 1/2

Answer 1

Answer:

$=-\frac{23}{12},\ -2$ and many others

Step-by-step explanation:

The limits given for Jonah's elevation with regards to sea level are

$-1\frac{1}{2}$ and $-2\frac{1}{3}$

Any number belonging to that interval could be the requested answer. We'll pick the exact center (mean value) between them:

$-1\frac{1}{2} =-\frac{3}{2}$

$-2\frac{1}{3}=-\frac{7}{3}$

Computing the mean value:

$\frac{1}{2}\left (-\frac{3}{2}-\frac{7}{3} \right)$

$=\frac{1}{2}\left (-\frac{23}{6}\right)$

$=-\frac{23}{12}$

Since $-2\frac{1}{3}=-2.33$

And $-1\frac{1}{2}=-1.5$

Other numbers like -1.6,-2,-2,3 can be examples of the required answer
