Kale is diving 647 feet below sea level. She gets an alert from a fellow diver that there is a family of dolphins 112 feet below sea level. What is the vertical distance between Kale and the family of dolphins?(1 point)Responses535 feet535 feet647 feet647 feet72, 464 feet72, 464 feet759 feet

Answer 1

To find the vertical distance between Kale and the family of dolphins, we subtract the depth of the dolphins from Kale's depth below sea level.

Kale is at -647 feet, and the dolphins are at -112 feet.

The calculation is as follows:

\[ \text{Vertical distance} = |-647 - (-112)| = |-647 + 112| = |-535| = 535 \text{ feet} \]

Therefore, the vertical distance between Kale and the family of dolphins is 535 feet.
