Answer:

-372

Explanation:

"Three hundred seventy-two feet" in words can be translated into 372 ft in numbers.

Sea level is often referred to as the integer 0. Altitudes above sea level are referred to as positive numbers, or numbers greater than 0 while altitudes below sea level are referred to as negative numbers, or numbers less than 0.

Because we're talking about 372 ft below sea level, this expresses the integer -372.

I hope this helps!
