Question

A pipe extends from sea level to a location under the sea. Four-fifths of the way down the pipe, there is a leak. The leak's elevation is −3.6 meters. What is the elevation of the end of the pipe that is under the sea? Enter your answer as a decimal or as a mixed number in simplest form in the box.

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

4/5  is equivalent to -3.6 m

So 1 ( 5/5) is equivalent to -3.6 / 4/5 * 5/5

= -3.6 / 0.8 * 1

= -4.5 m.
