A light post 5 1/5 metres long was set 1 1/2 metres into the ground. What was the length of the post above the ground? Write your answer in its simplest form *

3.7 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

First, convert the fractions into decimals.

5 1/5 = 5.2

1 1/2 = 1.5

Then subtract them

5.2-1.5=3.7 meters!

the entire expression should be subtracted from 30. to subtract the quantity, distribute the negative sign, which changes the signs on the terms. so, the –2 changes to positive and gets added to 30 instead of subtracted from it.
