Question 2 (b)

Represent the following numbers as integers with appropriate signs.

A submarine is moving at a depth of eight thousand metres below the sea level.

Answer 1

For this question, we will take the sea level as a reference. So, sea level will be represented by 0 meters.

Taking the height above the sea level as positive and below the sea level as negative.

Then a submarine moving at a depth of eight thousand metres below the sea level shall be represented as -8000 metres.
