Question

The end of a cave is 380 meters below surface of the earth. Write an integer to represent this depth

Answer 1

Answer:

$-380 meter$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given.

The end of a cave is 380 meters below the surface of the earth.

The surface of the earth is reference for all the measure with respect to earth

and it is 0 on the surface

If we go up side on the surface of the earth we will get the positive value and if we go inside of the earth we will get negative value.

So, integer representation of depth = $0-380$

$=-380meter$

Therefore, the integer representation of depth is $-380 meter$
