Answer 1

Given

The situation would best be represented by positive 6

Solution

Let us look at the first option

A. Taking an elevator down 6 floors in a building

Since it is coming down, this situation represents negative 6

B. Deleting 6 photos from a camera's memory card

Since we are removing, it also represent negative 6

C. A plant growing 6 inches

This is increasing and gaining height, so it represent positive 6

D. A group of 6 students getting off a bus

This also is a situation of negative 6, since the students are coming off the vehicle.

Therefore the right option is C

Option C
