1 answer

To determine which locations are higher than \( -\frac{3}{4} \) foot, we will convert all the fractions to decimals for easier comparison:

  1. \( -\frac{3}{4} = -0.75 \) foot
  2. \( -\frac{7}{8} \approx -0.875 \) foot
  3. \( -\frac{1}{4} = -0.25 \) foot
  4. \( -1 = -1.0 \) foot
  5. \( -2 = -2.0 \) feet
  6. \( -\frac{5}{8} = -0.625 \) foot

Now, let's compare the values to \( -0.75 \):

  • \( -\frac{7}{8} \approx -0.875 \) (lower)
  • \( -\frac{1}{4} = -0.25 \) (higher)
  • \( -1 = -1.0 \) (lower)
  • \( -2 = -2.0 \) (lower)
  • \( -\frac{5}{8} \approx -0.625 \) (higher)

From this comparison, the locations that are higher than \( -\frac{3}{4} \) foot are:

  • Negative one-fourth foot
  • Negative StartFraction 5 Over 8 EndFraction foot

So, the answer is:

  • Negative one-fourth foot
  • Negative StartFraction 5 Over 8 EndFraction foot
