Peyton designs a game in which players try to save a town from a drought. they start with the water level 5 1/2 feet below normal. at the end of the game, the water level is 4 2/3 feet above normal. by how many feet did the water level increase?

  10 1/6 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The level increased 5 1/2 feet to get up to normal, then an additional 4 2/3 feet, for a total of ...

  5 1/2 + 4 2/3 = (5 +4) + (3/6 +4/6) = 9 +7/6 = 10 1/6 . . . . feet

Part A: So if Liz pays $35 each month just to use the phone then we can subtract 35 from the total bill that month to get the total cost she spent on text messages
March: $72.60- $35= $37.60
April: $65.85- $35= $30.85
Now you divide the amount of money spent on texts by the cost of one text message to get the amount of texts she sent that month. 
March: $37.60/ $0.05= 752
April: $30.85/ $0.05= 617
Therefore, she sent 752 text messages in March and 617 in April.

Hope this helps!
