Hi! I need help ASAP!!!

Chris and Michelle are professional divers. During one of their dives, Chris goes 40 meters below the surface of the water, and Michelle dives 13 meters below Chris. What is Michelle's position in meters?

Answer 1

The answer would be 53 meters below the surface

Explanation:

If Chris is at -40 meters (meaning that he is 40 meters under the surface or, zero.) You would subtract 13 from that original depth of -40 in order to get -53 meters below the surface or 53 meters deep.

Answer 2

The answer is -53

-40-13=-53
