Answer 1

To find the difference in distance between Bertha's dive and Vernon's dive, we need to subtract the ending distances.

Bertha's dive ended -30 m from the starting platform.
Vernon's dive ended -6 m from the starting platform.

The difference in distance between the two dives is -30 - (-6) = -30 + 6 = -24 m.

Therefore, the end of Bertha's dive was 24 m farther than the end of Vernon's dive.

The answer is -24.
