Gemma, a scuba diver, begins a dive on the side of a boat 4 feet above sea level. She descends 28 feet. Which integer represents Gemma’s position with respect to sea level? –32

-24 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Boat is 4 feet above sea level => +4 feet

She descends 28 feet => -28 feet

Position = +4-28 = -24 feet

Therefore,

Gemma is 24 feet below the sea level

-24 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Because she is 4 feet above sea level, she can descend 4 feet to be at sea level. Now she only has to descend 24 feet below sea level, which is -24 feet.

stew reads at the fastest rate of 265 words per minute.

step-by-step explanation:

it's a given that felicia reads at 260 word per minute and on connie's graph we can see that she reads 200 words per minute. since stew's table tells us that he read 795 in 3 minutes, we can divide 795 by 3 to find out how many words he reads per minute.

795/3 = 265

stew reads 265 words per minute - he reads at the fastest rate since felecia reads at 260 words per minute and connie reads at 200 words per minute.

stew (265) > felecia (260) > connie (200)
