an ocean sunfish was swimming 125 meters below the oceans surface. while hunting for jellyfish, it swam down another 115 meters. what is the position of the sunfish now relative to the oceans surface? meters
Answer
Explanation:
Step1: Identify initial depth
The sun - fish starts at 125 meters below the surface, represented as - 125 meters (below the surface is negative).
Step2: Add the additional depth
It swims down another 115 meters. We add this to the initial depth. So, we calculate - 125+( - 115). Using the rule of adding two negative numbers, we have - 125 - 115=-240.
Answer:
- 240
