Question

Kristen goes on a tour with her family. they climb down to 8 meter below ground level. then they climb the opposite of -8 meters to return to ground level. what is the total number of meter they climbed (in either direction )?

Answer 1

8+8 = 16 this is the answer

Answer 2

16 meters

because they went 8 down, then 8 up (even if it is -8).

8 + 8 = 16

So, they climbed 16 meters.

Hope this helps.
