Answer:
- 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
