Amarine biologist is measuring the temperature of a lake at 6 equally spaced depths. she makes her measurements at a point where the lake is 33.6 feet deep. what signed number represents the distantance and direction of the first measurement from the lake's surface?

-5.6 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we are measuring depths this is regularly represented with negative numbers. If the biologist is performing the tests at a point of 33.6 ft depth (-33.6 ft) the first measurement will occur at -33.6/6= -5.6 ft

The following measurements will occur at -11.2, -16.8 ft, -22.4 ft, -28 ft and -33.6 ft

in problems involving proportions, we can use cross products to test whether two ratios are equal and form a proportion. to find the cross products of a proportion, we multiply the outer terms, called the extremes, and the middle terms, called the means.
