A dolphin was swimming

7

meters below the surface of the ocean. It located a squid and dove down

4

more meters to eat it. What is the location of the dolphin now relative to the surface?

\newline

To solve the problem, Lamar subtracted

-7 - (-4)

and came up with an answer of

-3

meters. Is Lamar correct? Why or why not?

\newline

\newline

(A) Yes, Lamar is correct.

\newline

(B) No. The answer should have been

11

-3

meters, because the sum of the absolute values of the numbers is

11

\newline

(C) No. Lamar should have subtracted

-7 - 4

because the dolphin started

7

meters below the surface and dove down

Lake Eyre, which has the lowest elevation in Australia, is

16

meters below sea level. The Taieri Plain, the lowest place in New Zealand, is

2

meters below sea level. How much higher is the Taieri Plain than Lake Eyre?

\newline

To solve the problem, Elise subtracted

-2 - (-16)

and came up with an answer of

-18

meters. Is Elise correct? Why or why not?

\newline

\newline

(A) Yes, Elise is correct.

\newline

(B) No. The answer should have been

14

-18

meters, because subtracting a negative number is the same as adding its opposite.

\newline

(C) No. Elise should have added

-2 + (-16)

because the Taieri Plain is higher.

A guppy was swimming

8

feet below the surface of the river. It swam down

6

more feet to escape a large, hungry fish. What is the position of the guppy now relative to the surface?

\newline

To solve the problem, Jenna subtracted

8 - 6

and came up with an answer of

2

feet. Is Jenna correct? Why or why not?

\newline

\newline

(A)Yes, Jenna is correct.

\newline

(B)No. The answer should have been

-2

2

feet, because the guppy is below the surface.

\newline

(C)No. Jenna should have subtracted

-8 - 6

because the guppy started

Michael measured the same table two times. The table was

4

feet tall the first time and approximately

1

2

meters tall the second time. Determine which explanation below is the best reason on why the measurements are not the same.

\newline

A Feet are shorter than meters, therefore more feet are used.

\newline

B Feet are longer than meters, therefore there are more feet.

\newline

C Meters are longer than feet, therefore more meters are used.

\newline

D Meters are shorter than feet, therefore more meters are used.
