Question

A shark descended 32.6 feet to catch a fish. The shark is now -82.25 feet. What was his starting point

Answer 1

-49.65 feet

Explanation:

To find the shark's starting point, you can add the depth it descended to the current depth.

Starting point = Depth descended + Current depth

Starting point= 32.6+(-82.25)

Starting point=-49.65

So, the shark's starting point was at -49.65 feet.
