Jonah was standing at an elevation somewhere between-1 1/2
and -2 1/3 meters with regards to sea level. Which number
could be Jonah's elevation with regards to sea level?

Respuesta :

Answer:

[tex]=-\frac{23}{12},\ -2[/tex] and many others

Step-by-step explanation:

The limits given for Jonah's elevation with regards to sea level are

[tex]-1\frac{1}{2}[/tex] and [tex]-2\frac{1}{3}[/tex]

Any number belonging to that interval could be the requested answer. We'll pick the exact center (mean value) between them:

[tex]-1\frac{1}{2} =-\frac{3}{2}[/tex]

[tex]-2\frac{1}{3}=-\frac{7}{3}[/tex]

Computing the mean value:

[tex]\frac{1}{2}\left (-\frac{3}{2}-\frac{7}{3} \right)[/tex]

[tex]=\frac{1}{2}\left (-\frac{23}{6}\right)[/tex]

[tex]=-\frac{23}{12}[/tex]

Since [tex]-2\frac{1}{3}=-2.33[/tex]

And [tex]-1\frac{1}{2}=-1.5[/tex]

Other numbers like -1.6,-2,-2,3 can be examples of the required answer
