Question

Jason is filling up his new pool. At 7:00 pm the water level was at 1.5 feet. At 8 am the water level is at 6ft. Using (+) to show an increase in the water level and a (-) go show a decrease in the water level. What was the change in the water level from 7:00 pm to 8:00 am

Answer 1

+4.5 feet

Explanation:

The change in level is computed by subtracting the beginning level from the ending level.

Change in level

change = ending - beginning

change = (6 ft) - (1.5 ft)

change = 4.5 ft

The change in level from 7 pm to 8 am was +4.5 feet.
