Question

Dave loves underwater diving. His house boat is 250 feet above sea level. He jumped from that level. He went 600 feet below sea level. How many feet did Dave go under the water?

Answer 1

Answer:

600 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

I would just like to explain how this works with a visual (please enjoy my drawing <3 haha)

With my drawing we know that the bird is 150 feet above sea level, and the fish is 100 feet below sea level.

From the bird to the water it is 150 feet, from water to fish is 100 feet

From the bird to the fish it is 150 feet + 100 feet

This is equal to 250 feet,

so we know from the bird (150 feet above sea level) to the fish(100 feet below sea level).

Knowing this information we can easily answer this question

Dave is 250 feet above sea level, and he went 600 feet nelow sea level, meaning he only went 600 feet under the water.
