Adiver descends to a location of −5014 meters relative to the surface of the water. he then descends another 1012 meters. what is the diver’s final location relative to the surface of the water? enter your answer as a simplified mixed number in the box.

Using operations with fractions, the diver's final location is:

- 60 3/4 meters relative to the surface of the water (60 3/4 meters below the surface of the water).

Solution:

Initial location: -50 1/4 meters

He descends another 10 1/2 meters: -10 1/2 meters

Final location = Initial location - 10 1/2 meters

Final location = - 50 1/4 meters - 10 1/2 meters

Final location = - (50+10) (1/4+1/2) meters

Final location = - 60 [(1)(1)+2(1)]/4 meters

Final location = - 60 (1+2)/4 meters

Final location = - 60 3/4 meters

answer: all of the odd numbers were opened

the first person was the one that was opening all of the lockers. since one is odd, this causes all of the odd number lockers to be opened in the end.
