Question

A bird started 37 feet above the ocean. To catch a fish, It dove 7 feet below the waters surface level.How fat was its dive? Draw a picture

Answer 1

The bird dove 44 feet.

Explanation:

If the bird starts 37 feet above the ocean and dives from its position to 7 feet below the ocean, the you just add the two numbers and get its total dive.

To draw it draw a graph that goes past to +37 and past -7, then draw a bar representing the birds dive from +37 to -7. The X axis would be time, and the Y axis is the bird's height relative to the surface of the water.
