Answer:

The integer that represents the submarine's position = -664 ft (option C)

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine the submarine's position after ascension, we need to rewrite the statement in mathematical terms.

The initial position of the submarine = surface

The initial position of the submarine = 0 ft

The position after submerging and diving = -972 ft

Then it ascends = 308 ft

Since it is ascending, it means it is rising and this indicates a positive number (+308 ft)

The integer that represents the submarine's position = The position after submerging and diving + the number of ft it ascended


\begin{gathered} submarine^(\prime)s\text{ position = -972 + 308 } \\ submarine^(\prime)s\text{ position = -664 } \end{gathered}

The integer that represents the submarine's position = -664 ft (option C)
