Apelican flies 2 1/4 feet above the surface of the ocean. a dolphin swims 10 1/2 feet below the surface. how far apart are the dolphin and the pelican ?

The dolphin is 8 feet away from the pelican .

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

The position of pelican flies above the ocean surface = x = 2 feet

i.e x = feet

The position of dolphin swim below the ocean surface = y = 10 feet

i.e y = feet

Let The difference between the position of pelican and dolphin = z feet

So, z = position of dolphin swim below the surface - position of pelican flies above the surface

Or, z = y - x

Or, z = feet - feet

Now, taking LCM

z =

∴  z = feet

i.e z = 8 feet

So, The difference between the position of pelican and dolphin = z = 8 feet

Hence, The dolphin is 8 feet away from the pelican . Answer
