Question

A dolphin is at -25 feet. It swims up and jumps out of the water to a height of 10 feet. Write a subtraction expression for the vertical distance the dolphin travels

Answer 1

35 feets

Explanation:

Initial Position = - 25 feets

Final height reached after jumping = 10 feets

The vertical distance traveled by dolphin :

Final height reached - Initial position

(10 feets) - (-25 feets)

10 feets + 25 feets

= 35 feets
