A submarine hovers at 66 and two-thirds yards below sea level. If it ascends 24 and StartFraction 1 over 8 EndFraction yards and then descends 78 and three-fourths yards, what is the submarine's new position, in yards, with respect to sea level?

- 121 7/24

Step-by-step explanation:

Initial Position = 66 2/3 below sea level

Ascent = 24 1/8

Descent = 78 3/4

New position of submarine :

Since initial. Position is below sea level, we finite with a negative sign :

-66 2/3 = - 200 /3

Ascent is positive ; 24 1/8 = 193 / 8

-200 /3 + 193 / 8

(-1600 + 579) / 24

= - 1021 / 24

Descent = 78 3/4 (negative) downward

78 3/4 = - 315/ 4

-1021 / 24 - 315/4

(-1021 - 1890) / 24

= - 2911 / 24

= - 121 7/24

121 7/24 below sea level
