🔍 Key Concepts

• River gage reading vs. reference plane – what does each number represent? • Simple subtraction when comparing a current level to a reference level • Keeping units consistent (all in feet)

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: Is the gage reading the current water level, and is the low water reference plane a baseline you compare it to? • What single arithmetic operation lets you find how much higher one level is than another? • If you imagine the low water reference as 0, how far above that would the current gage reading be?

✅ Before You Answer

• Confirm you are finding the difference between two levels, not adding them. • Carefully subtract using both numbers given: 22.2 and 10.6 (in feet). • After you do the math, compare your result to the answer choices and make sure the magnitude makes sense (it should be less than the higher of the two numbers).
