Question

While hiking, Ben went down 100 metres. If Ben started at 200 metres above sea level, which integer represents his elevation now?

Answer 1

Ben started at 200 metres above sea level and descended 100 metres. The integer representing his current elevation is now 100 metres above sea level.

Step-by-step explanation:

When hiking, Ben went down 100 metres from his starting point, which was 200 metres above sea level. To determine Ben's current elevation, we need to subtract the distance he descended from his starting elevation. Starting at 200 metres and going down 100 metres means Ben is now at:

1. 200 metres (starting elevation) - 100 metres (distance descended) = 100 metres above sea level.

Therefore, the integer that represents Ben's current elevation is 100 metres above sea level.
