To find the total distance drilled over the 5 days, we need to calculate the difference in elevation between the starting and ending points.
The starting elevation is 121.175 feet and the ending elevation is -246.875 feet.
To find the distance drilled, we subtract the ending elevation from the starting elevation:
Distance Drilled = Ending Elevation - Starting Elevation
Distance Drilled = -246.875 feet - 121.175 feet
This can be simplified as follows:
Distance Drilled = -368.05 feet
Therefore, the oil drilling company drilled a total distance of 368.05 feet over the 5 days.
An oil drilling company drills the same distance each day for 5 days. They started at an elevation of 121.175 feet and ended at an elevation of -246.875 feet.
