Aseagull is flying at an elevation of 15 3/8 feet above the sea, and then descends 23 1/6 feet to catch a fish in the ocean. what was the elevation of the fish

The initial elevation of the seagull is at 15 3/8 feet. (+ 15 3/8 feet)

The seagull then descended 23 1/6 feet to catch the fish. (- 23 1/6 feet)

Therefore the elevation of the fish is:

elevation of fish = 15 3/8 – 23 1/6

elevation of fish = 123 / 8 – 139 / 6

elevation of fish = - 374 / 48 = - 187 / 24 = - 7 19/24

negative sign means it is below sea level

isaiah walks 3 miles due north, turns and then 5 miles due east. how far is he from his starting point?

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

let c = distance from starting point.

(3)^2 + (5)^2 = c^2

9 + 25 = c^2

34 = c^2

sqrt{34} = sqrt{c^2}

sqrt{34} = c
