Adeep sea diver descended from a rock that is 45 feet below sea level to a coral reef that is 88 feet below sea level. how far did the diver descend from the rock to the coral reef?

Diver descended 43 feet from the rock to the coral reef.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given  : A deep sea diver descended from a rock that is 45 feet below sea level to a coral reef that is 88 feet below sea level.

To find : How far did the diver descend from the rock to the coral reef.

Solution : We have given

A deep sea diver descended below sea level = -45 feet .

A coral reef that is 88 feet below sea level = -88 feet.

Because we take the negative value below sea level( 0 ).

Difference = -45 - ( - 88)

Difference = -45 + 88 = 43

Diver descended 43 feet from the rock to the coral reef.

Therefore, Diver descended 43 feet from the rock to the coral reef.
