Question

Which number best represents a depth of seven hundred and five-tenths meters below the ground?

Answer 1

-700½ meters or -700.5 meters

Explanation:

Usually, the depths below the ground are denoted by the minus sign.

Seven hundred and five-tenths meters mean 700+(5/10) which is equal to 700+1/2. So, the answer becomes -700½ meters or -700.5 meters.
