To find the change in height of the parasail, we need to subtract the final height from the initial height.
- Initial height: \( \frac{1}{20} \) meters
- Final height: \( \frac{1}{50} \) meters
We first need a common denominator to perform the subtraction. The least common multiple of 20 and 50 is 100.
Now, let's convert both fractions to have a denominator of 100:
- \( \frac{1}{20} = \frac{1 \times 5}{20 \times 5} = \frac{5}{100} \)
- \( \frac{1}{50} = \frac{1 \times 2}{50 \times 2} = \frac{2}{100} \)
Now, we can subtract the final height from the initial height:
\[ \text{Change in height} = \frac{5}{100} - \frac{2}{100} = \frac{3}{100} \text{ meters} \]
Therefore, the change in height is \( \frac{3}{100} \) meters.
The correct response is:
3/100 meter (Start Fraction 3 over 100 End Fraction meter)
