Question

The submarine is 500 meters below the surface of the sea.Represent the given statement using signs of Integers.

Answer 1

Hey there!

We know that, Sea level is taken as reference to measure distances.

All the distances measured above the sea level are positive.

And the distances measured below it are negative.

So, Here A submarine is 500 meters below the see level.

Therefore, It's distance is negative.

We can say that, A submarine is at -500 meters in the sea.



Hope helped!

Answer 2

Hi ,

In mathematics , we represent as follows,

Sea level = 0

Above sea level positive integers

Below sea level Negative integers

Here ,

Submarine is 500 m below the surface

of the sea , we represent it with ( - 500 )m

I hope this helps you.
