Question

The peak of the mountain is 3 miles

above where the chair lift drops skiers
off. The chair lift travels 2 miles up from
the bottom of the mountain. If the point
where the lift drops the skiers off is
represented by zero, what integer would
represent the bottom of the mountain?
What integer would represent the top of
che mountain?

Answer 1

The bottom would be -2 and the top 3. Hope this helps!!

Answer 2

Bottom= -2

Top= 3

Explanation:

Since the bottom is 2 miles below the chair lift, you'd do 0-2 to get -2.

If the chair lift is 0 and we know the peak is 3 miles above it, you would add 3+0 to get 3.
