A seagull was flying about sea level looking to catch a fish below sea level. The elevation above sea level was 125 1/2 feet. He

spots a fish that is 45 1/2 feet below sea level.
The seagull stops exactly half way between his location above sea level and the fish’s location below sea level because he realizes he won’t catch it in time. What’s the seagull’s position in feet at the halfway point? Show work.

Answer:

The seagull's position halfway is 85.5 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

The seagull is at 125 1/2 feet above the sea level.

The fish is at 45 1/2 feet below the sea level.

The distance between the seagull and fish = seagull's distance above the sea level + fish's distance below the sea level

                                                  = 125 1/2 + 45 1/2

                                                  = \frac{251}{2} + \frac{91}{2}

                                                  = \frac{342}{2}

                                                  = 171

The distance between the seagull and fish is 171 feet.

Since the seagull stops halfway, then;

seagull's position = \frac{171}{2}

                             = 85.5

The seagull's position halfway is 85.5 feet.

A rectangle has a volume of 912 cubic meters. It has a length of 19 meters and a width of 12 meters. Which equation can be used
Nimfa-mama [501]
The answer would be B because LWH=V, so taking the information given, L(19) times W(12) would equal 228 and 228 times the H would give us volume so B
Hope this helped ;)

If a table seats 7, what is the least number of tables needed to seat 155 people
Fynjy0 [20]

23 is the minimum because 155 does not go into evenly and you have to have enough room for everybody, and make sure not to leave anybody out. 155 divided by 7 is 22.1428571429, you have to round it up to 23 so that everybody has a seat. Hope it helps!!

From complete sets of playing cards (32 cards) we pulled out one card. 
AVprozaik [17]
The probability of pulling an ace is 4 out of 32 or 4/32. There are four aces in a complete set of playing cards. If you need me to simplify, it would be 1 out of 8, or 1/8. I hope this is helpful!
