A school of salmon was swimming in the river 5 feet below the surface. To escape a hungry bear, they went down another 3 feet.

What is the position of the salmon now relative to the surface?

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation: The school of salmon are now 8 feet below the surface. They start at -5 feet and then you subtract 3 more feet which gives you -8 feet. -5-3=8
