Question

A fish is 5 feet below the surface of a lake. If its position can be recorded as −5 feet, what would the position of 0 represent?

Answer 1

Hey!

According to your question, we can see that if we got a negative number, that would represent that we are below sea level, that may mean being underwater. If we got a positive number, then that means we are above the sea level. The position of 0 would represent sea level.
