Question
A fluffy rabbit is 0.29 m0.29 m above the ground. He then slides down a ramp, moving 0.05 m0.05 m down to ground level. How high above the ground (in metres, mm) is the rabbit now?
Solution
The rabbit started at a height of 0.29 m above the ground. It then slid down the ramp, moving 0.05 m down. To find out how high the rabbit is now, you subtract the distance it moved down the ramp from its initial height.
So, the calculation is as follows:
0.29 m (initial height) - 0.05 m (distance moved down) = 0.24 m
Therefore, the rabbit is now 0.24 metres, or 240 millimetres, above the ground.
