Answer 1

The fish ascended a total of meter.

Explanation:

distance= rate x time

D= -4(2)= -8m

A= 3(3)= 9m

-8m+9m= 1m

Answer 2

1 meter of dispalcement,

17 meters of path distance

Explanation:

-4meters/min * 2min = -8meter

3 m/m * 3m = 9meters

-8+9 = 1 meter of displacement, it's looking for the total path's distance, then that is just |-8|+|9|=17 meters

I hope this helps
