Answer 1

Answer:

See Explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is incomplete. However, a possible question is "calculate the depth of the lake after certain number of hours (say 2 hours)"

Given

$Rate = \frac{1}{4}ft/hr$

$Depth = 279ft$

First, we calculate the depth receded.

If the rate is 1/4ft per hour

Then

The Depth receded in 2 hours is:

$Receded = \frac{1}{4} * 2$

$Receded = \frac{2}{4}$

$Receded = 0.5ft$

The new depth is then calculated as:

$New\ Depth = 279ft - 0.5ft$

$New\ Depth = 278.5ft$
