Answer 1

Diver 1 is -36 feet and Diver 2 is -44 feet. Diver 2 is deeper

Answer 2

Answer: First diver is deeper.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Length of one diver below the surface = 36 feet

Length of another diver below the surface = 44 feet

Since both the lengths are below the surface.

so, we will use "negative integer":

Length of first diver = -36 feet

Length of another diver = -44 feet

Since we know that

36<44

So, if we put negative signs on both the number, we get that

-36>-44.

So, First diver is deeper.
