Suppose that the water level of a river is 33 feet and that it is receding at a rate
of 0.5 feet per day. What would the water level be after 15 days? Round your
answer to the nearest tenth.

Answer 1

25 1/2 feet

Explanation:

Answer 2

25.5 ft

Explanation:

Starting level: 33 ft

Each day the water recedes 0.5 ft.

Now we calculate the number of ft the water recedes in 15 days.

15 days * 0.5 ft/day = 7.5 ft

In 15 days, the water recedes 7.5 ft.

Level of water after 15 days:

33 ft - 7.5 ft = 25.5 ft

Answer: 25.5 ft
