Question

i will give brainliest to the best answer to this question: Each year, the Department of Water Works measures the chloride concentration level in the water. The first year, they found the chloride concentration changed by −135 mg/L . It is estimated that the chloride concentration will change −2115 mg/L the next year.

What is the total change that will likely occur in 2 years?

Enter your answer as a simplified mixed number in the box.

______mg/L

Answer 1

Answer:

The total change that will likely occur in 2 years is $=-3\frac{2}{3}$ mg/L        

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The first year, they found the chloride concentration changed by $-1\frac{3}{5}$ mg/L .

It is estimated that the chloride concentration will change $-2\frac{1}{15}$ mg/L the next year.

To find : What is the total change that will likely occur in 2 years?

Solution :

The chloride concentration changed by $-1\frac{3}{5}=-\farc{8}{5}$ mg/L in first year.

The chloride concentration will change $-2\frac{1}{15}=-\frac{31}{15}$ mg/L the next year.

The total change that will likely occur in 2 years is

$=-\frac{8}{5}+(-\frac{31}{15})$

$=\frac{-24-31}{15}$

$=\frac{-55}{15}$

$=\frac{-11}{3}$

In a mixed fraction - $=-3\frac{2}{3}$ mg/L        

Answer 2

The answer is for sure           Answer: - 3  2/3

the two  goes on top of the three
