A pirate stands on a ship 4.5 yards above sea level looking for treasure. The treasure is 10.3 yards below sea level.
Which equation can be used to determine the distance between the pirate and the treasure, in yards?
A |4.5| − | − 10.3| = −14.8 B |4.5|−|−10.3|= −5.8 C |4.5−10.3|=5.8
D |4.5−(−10.3)|=14.8

Respuesta :

Answer:

The answer is A

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation that should be used for determining the distance is |4.5| - | - 10.3| = -14.8.

Given that,

  • The pirate stands on the ship 4.5 yards above the seal level.
  • And, the treasure is 10.3 yards below sea level.

Based on the above information, the equation that should be used is  |4.5| - | - 10.3| = -14.8.

Therefore we can conclude that the equation that should be used for determining the distance is |4.5| - | - 10.3| = -14.8.
