Question

Michael is doing an underwater handstand. His feet are sticking up .05 meters above the water. Michaels hands are 1.8 meters directly below his feet. What is the position of michael’s hands relative to the surface of water?

Answer 1

He is correct because the numbers are in opposite directions on the number line, and their distances from 0 on the vertical number line are equal.

Answer 2

1.75 meters

Explanation:

1.8 - 0.05 = 1.75

Since his hands are 0.05 meters above the water you can subtract to find the difference. Pls pretend this is accurate.

Feet Level - __________________

Water Level - ----------------------------------

Hand Level- _____________________

His total height is shown by the 1.8 meters so if you subtract the distance between his feet and the water, you can calculate his hands relative to the water.
