Max is a diver. he uses positive numbers to represent elevations above the water's surface and negative numbers to represent elevations below the water's surface. max is standing on the springboard. he represent his location as 3 meters. he lets a ring drop to the bottom of the pool. he represents its location at the bottom of the pool as -4 meters. how many meters below the surface of the water is the ring? a. less than 4 meters b. more than 4 meters c. exactly 4 meters d. exactly 3 meters : : )

C. Exactly 4 Meters

This is one of those questions that sounds difficult, but it is very simple(almost like a trick question). They tell u anything below the surface of the water is a negative #. Then they tell u he lets a ring drop to the bottom of a pool which is 4meters. They just just told you that the bottom of the pool from surface down is -4 meters. Well they basically are telling u it doesn’t matter if he is on the side of the pool and tosses the ring in, or if he is on a 3 or 10 meter board. They just gave u the answer—look at they gave you, they tell u anything “below the waters surface is a negative #?and the answer for the rings location they tell u 2 things it’s at the bottom of the pool and it is also -4 meters. This is how you know the pool is -4 meters deep.

It’s hard to understand what you put.. can you show a picture ?
