Question

A man swims 62 feet downwards from the sea level during deep diving and then he comes up 1 feet. What is the representation of his level in integers?

• A. - 61 feet
• B. - 62 feet
• C. - 6 feet
• D. 61 - feet

Answer 1

The correct option is A - 61 feet

If we consider the sea level as zero , then above the sea level will be taken as positive and below the sea level as negative.
Since man at first is 62 feet below sea level, it can represented in integers as - 62 feet. But then it moves 1 feet above so now his level will be 61 feet. It will be represented by - 61 feet.
