Answer 1

Answer:

71 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Here Sea Level represent 0 on number line. Above Sea Level is Positive Value while Below Sea Level is Negative Value ( Refer to attached figure)

Distance of Place I from Origin = 40 m

Distance of Place II from Origin = 31 m

Distance Between both places = 40 m + 31 m

                                                    = 71 m

∴ Distance between both the places is 71 m
