Question

An ant crawls 14 cm down into an ant hole. It then crawls 6 cm up to the queens nest. What is the current location of the ant?

Answer 1

8cm

Explanation:

We subtract 14 from the location of the ant as it traverses down the hole

0 - 14

= -14

As the ant crawls up we at 6

-14 + 6

= -8

The answer would be 8 cm under elevation
