The position of a submarine relative to the water surface was -32 1/4 feet . a downward navigational manuever increased it's depth by 15 1/2 feet. what is the position of the submarine now relative to the water surface?

Position of the submarine now relative to the water surface

Step-by-step explanation:

It says that the position of a submarine relative to the water surface was -32 1/4 feet . A downward navigational maneuver increased it's depth by 15 1/2 feet.

Now we need to find about what is the position of the submarine now relative to the water surface.

Downward navigation means we 15 1/2 is negative

so we will just add both values to get the final

Position of the submarine now relative to the water surface =
