The water level is
meters below sea level.

Answer 1

To find the water level at the end of summer, we need to add the initial water level below sea level of 1 1/2 meters to the drop in water level during the summer of 2 1/3 meters.

1 1/2 + 2 1/3 = 3/2 + 7/3

To simplify this addition, we need to find a common denominator for 2 and 3, which is 6.

1 1/2 + 2 1/3 = (3/6) + (14/6) = 17/6

Therefore, the water level at the end of summer is 17/6 meters below sea level.

Answer 2

thats wrong
