Solve the problems.

A bird is flying at an elevation of 14 feet above the
surface of the water. A fish is swimming the same
distance below the surface of the water.
How can you
represent a location
below the surface of
the water?
a. What number represents the position of the fish
relative to the surface of the water?
b. How does the absolute value of the number
you wrote show that the distances are the
same? Explain.

Answer 1

I believe a is -14

Explanation:

its -14 because if it is in the exact same spot below water, think of the water as point 0. the bird is 14 and the fish is -14. Hope this helped
