Answer 1

The situation that results in a change that could be modeled by a negative number is:

a change in elevation from 632 feet to 312 feet.

This represents a drop in elevation, which can be modeled with a negative number. The calculation would show a decrease of 320 feet (632 - 312 = 320), indicating a negative change in elevation.
