To solve this, we subtract 2 1/8 from -7.8 twice. First, convert -7.8 to a mixed number, that gets us -7 8/10. Now, we find the LCM of 8 and 10. That is 40. Now, we multiply 1/8 by 5/5 to get 5/40. Now, we multiply 8/10 by 4/4 to get 32/40. Now, we subtract 2 5/40 from -7 32/40. This gets us -9 37/40. That means Dive 2 was -9 37/40 feet. Now, we subtract 2 5/40 from -9 37/40. That gets us -12 2/40. We can simplify that to -12 1/20. That means Dive 3 was -12 1/20 feet.
An athletic director pays $90 for 12 sun visors for the
softball team. The rate per sun visor is equal to $90 / 12 sun visor = $ 7.5
per sun visor. So the athletic director should pay ($ 7.5 per sun visor)*(15
sun visor) = $ 112.5
