Suppose you encounter a lake with surface area 9 acres. This lake has one stream flowing in at a rate of 6 acre feet per month, one stream flowing out at a rate of 5 acre feet per month, and evaporation occurs at a rate of 3 acre feet per month. Assuming no other factors influence the lake's level, what will be the change in the lake's surface elevation after 1 year? a) -9/2 feet b) -2/9 feet c) -3/8 feet d) -24 feet
