Answer 1

Answer:

5.425 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that Cece is hiking on a mountain and stops 15 5/8 feet above sea level the base of the mountain is 10.2 feet above sea level.  

First of all, we will convert 15 5/8 to decimal as:

$15\frac{5}{8}=15.625$

To find the vertical distance between Cece and the base of the mountain, we will subtract 10.2 feet from 15.625 feet.

$15.625\text{ ft}-10.2\text{ ft}=5.425\text{ ft}$

Therefore, the distance between Cece and the base of the mountain is 5.425 feet.
