A shark dove under water.First he dove 8 5/6 yards below sea level. Then he came up 5 1/2 yards. Finally, he dove 6 1/4 yards deeper. What was the sharks depth then? A:8 1/2 yards
B:15 1/24 yards
C:8 17/24 yards
D:8 7/12 yards

I think the answer is A

9 7/12

Step-by-step explanation:

you may have mis typed an answer or the answer choice has a typo

8 5/6 - 5 1/2 + 6 1/4 or 8.83333333 - 5.5 + 6.25 = 9.58333333 or 9 7/12

Given:
circular merry-go-round that has a diameter of 15 feet.

Find: How much trim does he need to buy to put around the edge of the merry-go-round?

We need to find the circumference of the merry-go-round to get the measurement of the trim needed.

Circumference = π d
π = 3.14
d = diameter = 15 feet

Circumference = 3.14 * 15 feet
Circumference = 47.10 feet.

Mr. Osterhout needs to buy 47.10 feet of trim to put around the circular merry-go-round.
