Question

Matteo is recording the water levels in a local river for a science project. On day 1, the water is 4 feet deep. On day 2, the water has gone down 2.25 feet. On day 3, the water has risen 5.5 feet. What is the level of the river on day 3?

Answer 1

7.75 feet

Explanation:

The problem says it rose from 2.25 by 5.5 feet not to 5.5 feet. 2.25 + 5.5 = 7.75 :)
