doug digs a hole that is 1 7/10 feet below ground level. he plantes a bush that is 3 1/5 feet tall from the bottom of the root to the top branch

Answer 1

To find the total height of the bush above ground level, we need to add the depth of the hole to the height of the bush.

Depth of the hole: 1 7/10 feet
Height of the bush: 3 1/5 feet

To add these two values, we first need to convert them to a common fraction.

Depth of the hole: 1 7/10 = (10*1 + 7)/10 = 17/10
Height of the bush: 3 1/5 = (5*3 + 1)/5 = 16/5

Now, we can add these fractions to find the total height of the bush above ground level.

Total height = Depth of the hole + Height of the bush
= 17/10 + 16/5
= (17*5 + 16*10)/(10*5)
= (85 + 160)/50
= 245/50

So, the total height of the bush above ground level is 245/50 feet.
