Question

A scuba diver studying marine life is 4 feet below sea level. From that depth, the diver descends 72.5 feet to the ocean floor. He then rises to 6.25 feet. He rests there. Where is the diver relative to sea level when he is resting?

Create a number sentence and find the value where the diver is resting.

Answer 1

Answer :

“−66.25”

Explanation:

I did “ -72.5 + 6.25” I put a “-“ because the question says “below sea level” so that means that it’s a negative number. And the answer is “−66.25”
