Question

Complete the table to order the objects from farthest away to closest tosea level.

Answer 1

The elevations of the objects are given both positive and negative.

We need the absolute value of the distances. Then, we can arrange farther and closest.

Let's get the absolute value of the distances. Shown below >>>

• Scuba Diver = |-75| = ,75

,

• Light in a Lighthouse = |137| = ,137

,

• Shark = |-48| = ,48

,

• Fish = |-6| = ,6

,

• Top of weather buoy = |10| = ,10

,

• Submarine = |-182| = ,182

The sea level is "0".

Thus,

Farthest to Closest >>>

Submarine, Light in a LightHouse, Scuba Diver, Shark, Top of weather buoy, Fish
