Lake Acid has a depth of 120ft below the surfacel. Lake Placid is ⅓ as deep. How deep is Lake Placid? Use appropriate integer to account for elevation

Answer 1

To find the depth of Lake Placid, which is \( \frac{1}{3} \) the depth of Lake Acid, we can calculate it as follows:

1. Determine the depth of Lake Acid: 120 ft.
2. Calculate \( \frac{1}{3} \) of Lake Acid's depth:

\[ \text{Depth of Lake Placid} = \frac{1}{3} \times 120 , \text{ft} = 40 , \text{ft} \]

Thus, Lake Placid is 40 ft deep below the surface.
