A Navy submarine is 650 feet below sea level If it sends 200 feet which interger represents its new position

3 answers

To find the new position of the submarine after it ascends 200 feet, you can start with its current depth of -650 feet (since depth below sea level is represented as a negative value).

When the submarine ascends 200 feet, you add 200 to its current position:

\[ -650 + 200 = -450 \]

Thus, the integer that represents its new position is -450 feet, which means it is now 450 feet below sea level.

so is it -450 or 450

The correct representation of the submarine's position after ascending 200 feet is -450 feet.

This means that the submarine is still below sea level, specifically 450 feet below sea level. In these types of problems, depths below sea level are represented as negative values.
