i received this question as part of an online quiz:
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 the distance that Gemma is below sea level?
I gave the answer as 24 and got the question wrong. The other possible answers were -24, -32, and 32. I suspect they were looking for -24. I don't believe you can be a negative distance BELOW sea level.
Am I seeing this correctly, or can you be a negative distance BELOW sea level?
