Question

Score for Question 1: of 4 points) 1. While exploring sea life, a biologist went under water and on land. He recorded the depths above and below sea level where he found different creatures. Creature Depth above or below sea level Hemmit crab 2 ft Clam O ft Snapper -10 ft Redfish -3 ft (a) List these creatures in order from deepest to highest (6) Write a comparison statement for the depth of the hermit crab and the redfish.

Answer 1

a) Snapper, Redfish, Clam, Hermit crab.

b) The deep of the hermit crab is 5 ft above the deep of the redfish.

Step-by-step explanation:

Part a)

If we organize the depth from lowest to greatest, we get:

-10, -3, 0, and 2

So, when we can organize the creatures from deepest to highest as

Snapper, Redfish, Clam, Hermit crab.

Part b)

The deep of the hermit crab is 2 ft and the deep of the redfish is -3ft. The difference between them is calculated as

2 ft - (-3 ft) = 2 ft + 3 ft = 5 ft

So, the statement that compares these deeps is, the deep of the hermit crab is 5 ft above the deep of the redfish.
