Question

Fred jumped into a lake from a rock 7 feet above the surface of the water. He sank five feet into the water and continued to swim down two additional feet.
•Sophie stated that the total distance would be 0 because the heights were additive inverses of each other.
•Jake disagrees and thinks that Fred covered 14 feet. He found his answer using a number line.
Do you agree with Sophie or Jake?

Answer 1

Answer:

Sophie

Step-by-step explanation:

Jake is wrong because when he jump he was out of the water and you're supposed to count what he swam in the water so Sophie is correct.
