Which of the following situations can be represented with a negative number? Which of the following situations can be represented with a negative number? A
the elevation of a mountain above sea level
B
a temperature above zero
C
withdrawal from a checking account
D
football player gaining yards

I would have to say C, because you can go into the negative in your checking account. Option A can’t be correct because you can’t have a negative elevation ABOVE sea level. Option B can’t be correct because you can’t have a negative temperature ABOVE zero and Option D can’t can’t be right because you can’t have a negative number if a football player is GAINING yards. Hope this helps:)
