The height of the bottom of the hole after the second day is -35 11/12 feet

Given:

Day 1 height = -45 1/4 feet

Day 2 height = -45 1/4 + 9 1/3

= - 181/4 + 28/3

= (-543 + 112) / 12

= -431/12

= -35 11/12 feet

Therefore, the height of the bottom of the hole after the second day is -35 11/12 feet
