GIVEN

A leatherback sea turtle was swimming at 850 meters below sea level. He went up 165 meters and then descended 165 meters.

TO FIND

Integer representing the sea turtle's change in position.

SOLUTION

We can simply solve the above problem as follows;

The initial position of leatherback sea turtle = 850 meters below sea level

Height ascended by the turtle = 165 meters

Now,

Depth descended by Turtle = 165 meters

Since,

Depth descended = Height ascended

So, The Turtle reached reached its initial position.

Since the initial and final position are same, The change in position = 0

Hence, Zero is the integer representing the sea turtle's change in position.
