Answer 1

5.425 feet.

Explanation:

We have been given that Cece is hiking on a mountain and stops 15 5/8 feet above sea level the base of the mountain is 10.2 feet above sea level.

First of all, we will convert 15 5/8 to decimal as:

`15(5)/(8)=15.625`

To find the vertical distance between Cece and the base of the mountain, we will subtract 10.2 feet from 15.625 feet.

`15.625\text{ ft}-10.2\text{ ft}=5.425\text{ ft}`

Therefore, the distance between Cece and the base of the mountain is 5.425 feet.
