Question

from the ground, a hot air balloon rises 2,150.825 feet than falls 583 1/3 feet. what is the final height of the balloon

Answer 1

Answer:

The final height of the balloon is 1621.242 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question, we are to calculate the final height of a ballon that rises and falls

Initial height rise it has from the ground was

2,150.825 feet

0.825 feet to fraction is ; 825/1000 = 33/40

Thus it is 2,150 33/40

We no subtract the height to which it falls by which is 583 1/3 feet

This would be;

2,150 33/40 - 583 1/3

= 88,183/40 - 1750/3

= (264,549-70,000)/120 = 194549/120 = 1,621.241666666667 which is approximately 1621.242 feet
