A. The elevation of the fish is -16 meters (negative because it is below the surface).
B. The elevation of the sea bird is +32 meters (positive because it is above the surface).
C. Since the bird is above the surface at +32 meters and the fish is below the surface at -16 meters, the distance between them would be the sum of their elevations: 32 + (-16) = 16 meters.
determined the appropriate integer for each situation ( the surface is 0 meters)
