Question 805575
About 8 times the height of an iceberg of uniform cross section is under water as is above the water. If the total height of an iceberg from bottom to top is 126 feet, how much is above and how much is below the surface?
------------------------
1:8 is the same as x:8x where x is height above and 8x is below water level

Equation:
x + 8x = 126
9x = 126
x = 14 ft (above)
9x = 112 ft (below)
