Question

Morena, a scuba diver, used the expression below to describe her position in relation to sea level.

0 + (–15) + 6

1.Which statement could describe the diver’s movements?
2.Morena started at 15 feet below sea level, then dove down 6 more feet.
3.Morena started at 15 feet above sea level, then dove down 6 more feet.
4,Morena started at sea level, dove down 15 feet, then dove down 6 more feet.
5,Morena started at sea level, dove down 15 feet, then rose up 6 fee

Answer 1

Since it is a 0, she must have started at sea level. Then she went down 15 feet, hence the -15, and finally rose 6 feet (positive 6). Your answer should be option 5. Hope this helps!

Answer 2

Answer:

Last option is the correct answer.

( Morena started at sea level, dove down 15 feet, then rose up 6 feet )

Step-by-step explanation:

The measures are given as or the expression below describe her position in relation to sea level:

0 + (–15) + 6

so the statement that best represents her position in relation to  the sea level is:

firstly she dove at the sea level since her distance is zero and then she went down the sea level to 15 feet that's why negative sign is assigned to it and then she rose up by 6 feet so that the distance is added.

Hence last option is the correct answer.

( Morena started at sea level, dove down 15 feet, then rose up 6 feet )
