Math Challenge September 26


Hurricanes can cause storm surge- when the water of the ocean rises much higher than usual. Storm surge is very dangerous, and can sweep away homes that are built right along the beach. In the town of Palm Nut Beach, the homes along the water are built on stilts that are 8 ½ feet high. If the storm surge is 61/4 feet high, how much space is there between the homes and the water?
