Deep Lake has a depth of 90ft. Lake Okeechobee is 2/15 as deep. What is the elevation at the BOTTOM of Lake Okeechobee? (Remember, the elevation is BELOW sea level).

Answer 1

To find the depth of Lake Okeechobee, we need to multiply its depth by the fraction given.

Depth of Lake Okeechobee = (2/15) * Depth of Deep Lake

Depth of Lake Okeechobee = (2/15) * 90 ft

Depth of Lake Okeechobee = 12 ft

Since the elevation at the bottom of Lake Okeechobee is below sea level, we can say that the elevation at the bottom of Lake Okeechobee is -12 ft.
