Answer 2

Answer:

The length of the post above the ground is  $4\frac{3}{10}$ m

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

• Length of the telegraph post= $5\frac{1}{2}$ m
• Length of the post that is inside the ground = $1\frac{1}{5}$ m

To find:

The length of the post above the ground.

Let this length be 'x' m

We know that the total length of the telegraph post = Length of the post above the ground + length of the post below the ground.

On substituting the values, we get,

$5\frac{1}{2}$ = x + $1\frac{1}{5}$

=> $\frac{11}{2}$ = x + $\frac{6}{5}$

=> $\frac{11}{2}$ - $\frac{6}{5}$ = x

=> $\frac{55-12}{10}$ = x

=>  $\frac{43}{10}$ = x

On converting it into proper fraction, we get,

x = $4\frac{3}{10}$ m

Therefore, the length of the post above the ground is  $4\frac{3}{10}$ m
