Question

A squirrel runs 23 feet down a hill to eat an acorn. Then it runs 23 feet up the hill. Write the integer that represents the squirrels final position with respect to the top of th hill

Answer 1

Answer:

23 feet high from ground or 0 feet from top

Step-by-step explanation:

Distance covered by squirrel down the hill= 23 feet

It can be represented in an integer form as:

- 23 feet

Distance covered  by squirrel up the heel= 23 feet

It can be represented in an integer form as:

+ 23 feet

If we calculate the total distance= +23-23=0

He went back and again came

He is already at 23 feet from the ground or o feet from top

Hence, the correct answer is 23 feet from ground

Answer 2

The hill means it was already 23 feet above ground and he went and back up so the answer is 23 positive
