Question

An island has some portion submerged in water. Point A on the island is at negative 7 over 3 feet from the surface of the sea. Point B on the island is at negative 5 over 2 feet from the surface of the sea. Because negative 7 over 3 feet > negative 5 over 2 feet, what is true about the distance of the two points from the surface of the sea?

Point A is closer to the surface of the sea than point B.
Point B is closer to the surface of the sea than point A.
Both points are 4 and 5 over 6 feet from the surface of the sea.
Both points are 1 over 6 feet from the surface of the sea.

Answer 1

Answer: is B point B is closer to the surface then point A

Step-by-step explanation:

-7 over three is further from the surface because its further from 0 since - 5 over 2 is closer to 0 that means its closer to the surface.

which that means its B :) i had this question on FLVS lol
