Answer:

See Explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is incomplete. However, a possible question is "calculate the depth of the lake after certain number of hours (say 2 hours)"

Given

[tex]Rate = \frac{1}{4}ft/hr[/tex]

[tex]Depth = 279ft[/tex]

First, we calculate the depth receded.

If the rate is 1/4ft per hour

Then

The Depth receded in 2 hours is:

[tex]Receded = \frac{1}{4} * 2[/tex]

[tex]Receded = \frac{2}{4}[/tex]

[tex]Receded = 0.5ft[/tex]

The new depth is then calculated as:

[tex]New\ Depth = 279ft - 0.5ft[/tex]

[tex]New\ Depth = 278.5ft[/tex]
