Answer:
Manuel is 111 1/4 feet from ground level now.
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Let's review the information given to better understanding what were Manuel movements:
First movement = Climbing from ground level to 135 1/2 feet
Second movement = Climbing down 24 1/4 feet
2. Let's solve the question about how far is Manuel from the ground after the second movement
Manuel's current position = 0 + 135 1/2 - 24 1/4 (0 = Ground level)
Manuel's current position = 135 1/2 - 24 1/4
Manuel's current position = 271/2 - 97/4 (Converting to fractional numbers)
Manuel's current position = 542/4 - 97/4 (4 as common denominator)
Manuel's current position = 445/4
Manuel's current position = 111 1/4 (Simplifying)
Manuel is 111 1/4 feet from ground level now.
Answer:
Manuel is [tex]111\frac{1}{2}[/tex] feets far away from ground
Explanation:
Given:
Manuel climb a tower from ground level at an elevation of 135 [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] feet
He then climbs down 24 [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex]feet
Distance between Manuel and ground level = [tex]135\frac{1}{2}- 24\frac{1}{4}[/tex]
[tex]\frac{271}{2}-\frac{97}{4}[/tex]
[tex]\frac{542}{4}- \frac{97}{4}[/tex]
[tex]\frac{445}{4} = 111\frac{1}{2}[/tex]feet
Therefore, he is [tex]111\frac{1}{2}[/tex] feets far away from ground
