Start off with initially calculating those numbers to find out how far above or below the airplane is from the altitude of 3000 feet. 

To clear things up, when an aircraft dives, the altitude of how high it is traveling decreases. When an aircraft climbs, the altitude of the aircraft increases. When it mentions that the aircraft starts to dive, you need to subtract. When it climbs, you need to add. 

As the pilot initially dives the plane 988 feet and rapidly climbs 748 feet, you'd need to form an equation which contributes those numbers. It can be illustrated as
3000 - 988 + 748, which is equal to 2760. 
The pilot then dives again 885 feet before making another climb of 1099 feet. Adding on to the previous answer we received, this can be represented as 2760 - 885 + 1099, which equals to 2974. 

You can conclude that the airplane is now travelling at an altitude of 2974 feet. To find out how far above or below the airplane is from an altitude of 3000 feet, simply subtract those numbers. 

3000 - 2974 = 26

The aircraft is travelling <u>26 feet</u> below an altitude of 3000 feet.

g100num [7]

Mrs Kennedy is buying pencils for 315 students.

The pencils are sold in boxes of 10.

Therefore the number of pencils she needs to buy should be a multiple of 10, so that she can buy boxes of 10 pencils each.

number of students are 315 but 315 is not a multiple of 10

so we have to round off 315 to the nearest ten, that's 320.

so then she has to buy 320 pencils

number of boxes she needs - 320 / 10 = 32 boxes of pencils

she only needs pencils for 315 students so she will have 5 extra pencils

she will have to buy 32 boxes
