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!

step-by-step explanation:

the original amount doesn't ''re just looking for the time it takes for 1/2 of the substance to we have

(1/2) =)     take the ln   of both sides

ln (1/2)   = )   and we can write

ln(1/2) = ) lne     and lne   = 1     so we have

ln(1/2) = -.1092t     divide both sides by -.1092

t = ln(1/2)/-.1092 = about 6.347 days = about 6.3 days (rounded)
