+1008 The Elevation of city (A) is 96 feet Below sea Level; The elevation of city (C) is 24 feet below sea level.
The elevation of city (D) is 1/4 of the elevation of city (C).
Part A: Write an expression to represent the elevation, in feet, of city D.
Part B: Solve the expression and explain why the answer is negative or positive.
Please explain both parts Thankyou so much!
+142 (a) Sea level is \(0\), therefore the elevation of city (A) is \(-96\), and the elevation of city (C) is \(-24\). For this part we do not need the elevation of city (A). The elevation of city (D) is \(\frac{1}{4}\) of city (C). The key word is OF! Of means to multiply. Therefore we have the expression\(-24\cdot\frac{1}{4}\).
(b) Part b is fairly simple. All you have to do is compute \(-24\cdot\frac{1}{4}=-6\). As for explaining why it's negative we go back to how a negative times a positive is a negative.
This wasn't a very challenging problem. Are you sure you couldn't have solved it?

Thanks for your great answer keylime.
I would like to suggest that you do not use sentences like
"This wasn't a very challenging problem. "
What is easy for you may well be very difficult for someone else.
You should put EP’s post back. It’s the best post in the past week! I posted a copy on #2
You should put your post back too! It’s not as funny but it’s true!
+118687 It was not EPs post. EP has assured me he did not write it.
For the benefit of others, EP and Nickolas are both being trolled.
