Answer 1

181 feets

Explanation:

Given that:

Rate of change in water level = - 1.5 feets per month

Water level at beginning of May = 187 feets above sea level

Water level at the end of 4 months =?

Total change after four months = rate of change per month * number of months

= - 1.5 * 4 = - 6 feets

Hence water level after 4 months :

187 feets + (-6 feets)

187 feets - 6 feets

= 181 feets
