Cameron is flying 8,000 feet above sea level. Directly below her, she sees a whale 50 feet below sea level. Which absolute value expression represents the distance between Cameron and the whale? A) |8,000 − 50| B) |8,000 − (−50)| C) |−8,000 +50| D) |−8,000 − (−50)|

Respuesta :

Answer:

D) |−8,000 − (−50)|

Step-by-step explanation:

When we are dealing with questions involving above or below sea level,

The formula for the Absolute value expression representing the distance = | Height above sea level -(Distance below sea level|

Height of Cameron above sea level = 8000ft = -8000

Distance of the whale below sea level = 50ft = -50

Hence, we have:

|−8,000 − (−50)|.

Option D is the correct option
