Answer 2

11.6m

Explanation:

Given Ben is at 15.8 metres below the surface of water

Also given that Cam is 4.2 meters above ben

The position of Cam with respect to the surface of the water = The position of Ben with respect to the surface of the water - The position of Cam with respect to Ben

Given The position of Ben with respect to the surface of the water = 15.8m

The position of Cam with respect to Ben = 4.2m

The position of Cam with respect to the surface of the water = 15.8 - 4.2 = 11.6m
