A mountain goat is 147 feet above sea level. A shark is 20 feet below sea level. How far apart are they (Show your work)

Answer 1

The distance between the mountain goat and the shark is the sum of their distances from sea level.

Distance of the mountain goat from sea level = 147 feet
Distance of the shark from sea level = 20 feet

Therefore, the distance between them = 147 feet + 20 feet = 167 feet

So, the mountain goat and the shark are 167 feet apart.
