Answer 2

A 2 feet below water. B 2 feet above water c the buttom of the pond D on the surface of the pond

Answer 3

just to clarify: does it say position is recorded as 2 feet, or -2 feet?

Answer 4

yes

Answer 5

no, does it say "2 feet"
or does it say "-2 feet"

Answer 6

2 feet

Answer 7

hm. that's a little strange, I was just wondering because going under the surface is represented by negative numbers.

Answer 8

i mean -2 feet

Answer 9

ok, cool, just making sure

as I said, negative numbers usually represent depth under the surface of water

so -2 feet represents the duck being 2 feet under the water.

now, let's think about this: what if the duck swam 2 feet up?

-2 + 2 = 0

the duck would now be at 0. where is the duck now?

Answer 10

is it 2 feet above, 2 feet below, at the bottom of the pond, or at the surface?

Answer 11

whats the final answer
