The elevation of a sunken ship is -120 feet. Your elevation is 5/8 of the ship's elevation. What is your elevation?

U would multiply 5/8 and -120/1 and you should get -600/8 but u have to make it into a mixed number which would be 75.

-120*5/8=-(600/8) or when simplified it is -75 so your elevation is -75 feet
