Amarine biologist is measuring the temperature of a lake at 6 equally spaced depths. she makes her measurements at a point where the lake is 33.6 feet deep. what signed number represents the distantance and direction of the first measurement from the lake's surface?

-5.6 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we are measuring depths this is regularly represented with negative numbers. If the biologist is performing the tests at a point of 33.6 ft depth (-33.6 ft) the first measurement will occur at -33.6/6= -5.6 ft

The following measurements will occur at -11.2, -16.8 ft, -22.4 ft, -28 ft and -33.6 ft

what is the question here

step-by-step explanation:

question 1 is 8, question 2 is 9, question 3 is 24

step-by-step explanation:

now, the numbers they give you at the top are the key. from there, you just have to plug and chug! let's try 1, 2, and 3!

key: a=3, b=5, c=6

1. a+5

remember, a=3, so we plug that in to get 3+5=8

2. 15-c

c=6, so we plug that in to get 15-6=9

3. 4b

b=6, so we plug it in to get 4*6=24

time to try the rest on your own! if you put the answers below in a comment, i'll check them for you!
