Q. 7. On vacation, Jose went deep sea diving. Hestarted a 3 feet above sea level. And he dove down 15 feet. What integer represents how far below sea level Jose was when he dove down?a. −18c. 12b. −12d. 18
Start with +3: Jose starts 3 feet above sea level, so we start with +3. Then he dives down 15 feet, which means we subtract 15 from 3. So, the calculation is 3−15.
Subtract 15 feet: Now, let's do the math: 3−15 equals −12.So, Jose is 12 feet below sea level.
