Question

A scuba diver descends from -5 feet to -62 feet. how many feet did she descend?

Answer 1

57 feet

Explanation:

Distance can be calculated by the formula: Point B - Point A,

Point B is the endpoint, and Point A is the starting point.

We have -62 - (-5)

-62 + 5

-57, but we're talking about distance, which is always positive, so the scuba diver descended 57 feet
