answer: 60 + (-60) = 0
explanation: The Pelican who is 60 feet above sea level is represented by +60.Now, he is trying to catch the fish which is at 0 level, means Sea level because the pelican is trying to catch the fish by descending 60 feet

Answer:

The answer is 0

Explanation:

Because its original height was 60 feet above sea level but it descends to 60 feet to capture fish so 60 - 60 = 0
