1. Lucy monitors the position of a large fish in the ocean with a measuring tool. The tool records the depth (how deep the level) of the fish. Initially, the fish swims at a depth of 14 feet below sea level. Suddenly the fish rises 8 feet.
(a) What expression represents the position of the fish relative to sea level after it rises 8 feet?
(b) What is the position of the fish after it rises 8 feet relative to sea level? Show your work. Answer in a complete sentence.
Hint: Draw and label a picture to see and show what is happening.
B) The fish is at -6 feet below the sea level after it rises 8 feet because -14 (14 feet below 0) plus the 8 feet it rises is -6 feet or 6 feet below the sea level.
