Question

Sondra is going rock climbing. She starts at 12.25 yards above sea level. She ascends 38.381yards before lunch. She then descends 15.25 yards after lunch. What is Sondra's finalheight relative to sea level?

Answer 1

What we need to do is follow up with Sondra.

Starts at 12.15 yd

Ascendes 38.281, therefore:

`12.15+38.5=50.65`

A total 50.65 yd

Then, descends 15.25, therefore:

`50.65-12.25=38.5`

This means that the relative 38.5 - (15.25 - 12.25) = 38.5 - 3 = 35.5, it is means 35 1/2

The answer is 35 1/2
