Dean was flying his drone at an elevation of 307 feet. A strong gust of wind then caused it to drop 59 feet.

Question

What is the elevation of the drone now?

Answer 1

To find the new elevation of the drone, you need to subtract the amount it dropped from its original elevation.

Starting elevation: 307 feet
Drop: 59 feet

New elevation = Starting elevation - Drop
New elevation = 307 feet - 59 feet
New elevation = 248 feet

So, the elevation of the drone now is 248 feet.

Answer 2

In the video game Cave Chasers, players gain and lose points as they explore caves, find treasures, and face challenges. Becky is still learning how to play the game. She had
–
130 points. Then, she got
–
25 points for getting lost in a cave.
How many total points does Becky have now?

Answer 3

To find Becky's total points after getting lost in a cave, you need to add the points she gained to her initial score.

Initial points: -130
Points gained: -25

Total points = Initial points + Points gained
Total points = -130 + (-25)
Total points = -130 - 25
Total points = -155

So, Becky now has -155 points.

Answer 4

The Thunder Dolphin roller coaster, in Japan, is 80 meters high. The Kingda Ka roller coaster, in New Jersey, is 59 meters higher.
How high is the Kingda Ka roller coaster?

Answer 5

To find the height of the Kingda Ka roller coaster, you need to add the height of the Thunder Dolphin roller coaster to the additional height of the Kingda Ka.

Height of Thunder Dolphin: 80 meters
Additional height of Kingda Ka: 59 meters

Height of Kingda Ka = Height of Thunder Dolphin + Additional height
Height of Kingda Ka = 80 meters + 59 meters
Height of Kingda Ka = 139 meters

Therefore, the Kingda Ka roller coaster is 139 meters high.

Answer 6

Nicholas's favorite game to play on his phone is Rex's Racers. At the start of Level 3, he scored
–
85 points for hitting some litter on the racetrack. Right after that, he scored
–
35 points for skidding on some oil.
What is Nicholas's score now?

Answer 7

To find Nicholas's total score after the two penalties he incurred in Rex's Racers, you'll need to add both points he lost to his original score.

Initial score: -85
Points lost for skidding: -35

Total score = Initial score + Points lost
Total score = -85 + (-35)
Total score = -85 - 35
Total score = -120

So, Nicholas's score now is -120 points.

Answer 8

A naval submarine was operating 310 feet below the surface of the ocean. To pass above an underwater mountain, or seamount, it rose 165 feet.
What is the position of the submarine relative to the surface of the ocean now?
feet

Answer 9

To find the submarine's position after it has risen, you need to add the distance it rose to its initial depth below the surface.

Initial depth: -310 feet (below sea level)
Rise: +165 feet

New position = Initial depth + Rise
New position = -310 feet + 165 feet
New position = -145 feet

Therefore, the position of the submarine relative to the surface of the ocean is 145 feet below the surface.

Answer 10

Tex is the proud owner of Tex's Taco Truck. On Friday morning, Tex withdrew $100 for supplies from his account at the local bank. Then in the evening, he made a $250 deposit with money earned during lunchtime.
What was the total change in Tex's bank account relative to where it started?

Answer 11

To find the total change in Tex's bank account, we need to account for both the withdrawal and the deposit.

1. Withdrawal: -$100 (this is a decrease in the account)
2. Deposit: +$250 (this is an increase in the account)

Now, we can calculate the total change:

Total change = Deposit - Withdrawal
Total change = $250 - $100
Total change = $150

Tex's bank account has increased by $150 relative to where it started.

Answer 12

The record high temperature in Australia is 123°F. The record low temperature in Australia is
–
9°F.
How many degrees warmer is the record high temperature than the record low temperature?

Answer 13

To find out how many degrees warmer the record high temperature is than the record low temperature, you can subtract the record low temperature from the record high temperature.

Record high temperature: 123°F
Record low temperature: -9°F

To find the difference: \[ \text{Difference} = \text{Record high} - \text{Record low} \] \[ \text{Difference} = 123°F - (-9°F) \] This means you'll add 9 to 123: \[ \text{Difference} = 123°F + 9°F = 132°F \]

So, the record high temperature is 132 degrees warmer than the record low temperature.

Answer 14

County Wexford, in Ireland, is 10 feet below sea level. Dublin, Ireland's capital, is 289 feet higher than this.
What is the elevation of Dublin relative to sea level?

Answer 15

To find the elevation of Dublin relative to sea level, you need to add the elevation of County Wexford (which is below sea level) to the additional height of Dublin.

County Wexford's elevation: -10 feet (below sea level)
Dublin's elevation above County Wexford: +289 feet

Now, calculate Dublin's elevation relative to sea level: \[ \text{Elevation of Dublin} = \text{Elevation of Wexford} + \text{Height of Dublin} \] \[ \text{Elevation of Dublin} = -10 , \text{feet} + 289 , \text{feet} \] \[ \text{Elevation of Dublin} = 279 , \text{feet} \]

Therefore, the elevation of Dublin relative to sea level is 279 feet.

Answer 16

The Channel Tunnel, in England, is 250 feet below sea level at its deepest point. The Eurasia Tunnel, in Turkey, is 348 feet below sea level at its deepest point.
How much higher is the deepest point in the Channel Tunnel than the deepest point in the Eurasia Tunnel?

Answer 17

To determine how much higher the deepest point in the Channel Tunnel is compared to the deepest point in the Eurasia Tunnel, we need to compare their depths below sea level.

• Depth of the Channel Tunnel: -250 feet (below sea level)
• Depth of the Eurasia Tunnel: -348 feet (below sea level)

To find out how much higher the Channel Tunnel is, we can calculate the difference in their depths:

\[ \text{Difference} = \text{Depth of Eurasia Tunnel} - \text{Depth of Channel Tunnel} \] \[ \text{Difference} = (-250) - (-348) \] This simplifies to:

\[ \text{Difference} = -250 + 348 \] \[ \text{Difference} = 98 , \text{feet} \]

Therefore, the deepest point in the Channel Tunnel is 98 feet higher than the deepest point in the Eurasia Tunnel.
