150 meter

Answer 1

To find the change in height of the parasail, we need to calculate the difference between the two heights:

Initial height = $\frac{12}{10}$ of a meter

Final height = $\frac{15}{10}$ of a meter

Now, we can express these fractions:

Initial height = $1.2$ meters

Final height = $1.5$ meters

Now, calculate the change in height:

Change in height = Final height - Initial height Change in height = $1.5-1.2=0.3$ meters

Now, we can express $0.3$ meters as a fraction:

$0.3=\frac{3}{10}$ of a meter

Looking at the provided options, none of the responses directly matches $\frac{3}{10}$ meters. However, if we need to convert this to a fraction represented as "Start Fraction 3 over 100 End Fraction meter", we realize that:

• $\frac{3}{10}$ can be expressed using common denominators, but it is clear that $\frac{3}{10}$ is the correct representation of the change in height.

If none of the options match, please check the provided options. But according to the calculations, the change in height is $\frac{3}{10}$ of a meter.
