Answer 1

A. -12 meters
B. 28 meters
C. 40 meters
Explanation:
The surface of the ocean would be 0.
Taking this into account, 12 meters below would be 0 - 12, which is -12.
Therefore A's elevation would be -12.

For the sea bird, 28 meters above the surface, which is again 0, would be 0 + 28. B's elevation is 28.

Since the fish is 12 meters below the surface and the sea bird is 28 meters above the surface, simply add the two numbers up to get a total of 40 meters. C would be 40 meters.

Answer 2

1) -12 meters
2) 28 meters
3) 40 meters apart
