ANSER: Yes

EXPLANATION: The is one way for you to make a negative number greater than a positive number and that is by using absolute value. Absolute value is when you take the number and define the absolute value. So -4 would be just 4. In a regular equation -5 < 4 but using absolute value -5 becomes 5. Therefore there is one way for a negative number to be posotive.

ANSWER: No.

Explanation: It is impossible for a negative number to be greater than a positive number. All negatives are behind zero, therefore less than zero, on the number line, while all the positives are ahead of zero, meaning they're greater than zero. In conclusion, a negative number is ALWAYS less than a positive number.

The altitude of Death Valley California is 282 ft below sea level of hot air balloon is launched From The Bottom Of Death Valley

asambeis [7]

Answer:

177 ft below sea level.

Step-by-step explanation:

Initial altitude of the hot air balloon = 282 below sea level

Rate of rise of balloon = 10 ft / second

Time = 12 seconds

Total rise in 12 seconds = Rate of rise of balloon $\times$ Time

$\Rightarrow 10 \times 12$ = 120 ft

Now, we will have to subtract to find the new altitude.

New altitude = 282 - 120 = 162 ft

Now, it is given that balloon Captain lowers the balloon 15 ft.

To find the final altitude, we will have to add it to the previous altitude.

Therefore, the final altitude = 162 + 15 = <em>177 ft below sea level </em>
