@Vocaloid @ThisGirlPretty @Ultrilliam @Hero

Vocaloid:

a) 'rises 503 above checkpoint 5" so take the height of checkpoint 5 from the table (-161) and add 503 b) would be the difference between checkpoint 5 and checkpoint 1 from the table (calculated via subtraction) and take the absolute value of the result

theghost22:

So the first one would be 342?@Vocaloid

Vocaloid:

yes

theghost22:

And the second would be 1193

Vocaloid:

hm not quite, since "difference" usually means subtract we would subtract -46 - (-161) be careful w/ signs

theghost22:

Oh I thought that since it was -46 and positive 1,147 that it would be that answer

theghost22:

Oh I see my mistake

theghost22:

I was doing the wrong section

theghost22:

so it would be -115 for the second one right?

Vocaloid:

almost, since they want to know "how many units lower" we would typically take the positive value only 115

theghost22:

Oh ok

theghost22:

Thanks I do got more though if you wanna help?

Vocaloid:

sure
