Solution Steps

To solve the given problem, we need to find a common denominator for the fractions $\frac{5}{12}$ and $\frac{1}{7}$. Once we have a common denominator, we can convert both fractions to have this common denominator and then subtract the numerators.

Step 1: Find a Common Denominator

To subtract the fractions \(\frac{5}{12}\) and \(\frac{1}{7}\), we first need to find a common denominator. The least common multiple (LCM) of 12 and 7 is 84.

Step 2: Convert Fractions to Common Denominator

Convert each fraction to have the common denominator of 84: \[ \frac{5}{12} = \frac{5 \times 7}{12 \times 7} = \frac{35}{84} \] \[ \frac{1}{7} = \frac{1 \times 12}{7 \times 12} = \frac{12}{84} \]

Step 3: Subtract the Fractions

Now, subtract the numerators: \[ \frac{35}{84} - \frac{12}{84} = \frac{35 - 12}{84} = \frac{23}{84} \]

Final Answer

\[ \boxed{\frac{23}{84}} \]

The tropopause is a defined boundary that separates the troposphere (below) from the stratosphere (above). At the tropopause, the temperature trend changes from decreasing significantly as altitude increases to nearly constant (isothermal) or begins to increase with altitude (called a temperature inversion) in the lower stratosphere. Based on the temperature pattern you plotted, the tropopause in the Salt Lake City example sounding was located at a pressure level above mb . a. 700 b. 500 c. 300 d. 200 The tropopause over Salt Lake City occurred at an altitude nearest km above sea level, according to the altitude scale on the Stüve diagram. This can be confirmed from the observed altitude reported in Table 2B-1. a. 6 b. 9 c. 12 d. 16 This Salt Lake City tropopause was altitude compared to the altitude of the tropopause in the Standard Atmosphere. The Standard Atmosphere tropopause occurs at 11 km . a. at a lower b. about the same c. at a higher Since the weight of the overlying air determines air pressure, this means about half of the weight of air over Salt Lake City's atmosphere was above 500 mb and half below. In Table 2B-2, the pressure of 500 mb occurred at an altitude of m. a. 2943 b. 5390
