The shallowest section of an underground tunnel is -50 feet. The deepest section of the tunnel is -135 feet. How many feet below the shallowest section is the deepest section?
A. -95 feet
B. -185 feet
C. 85 feet
D. 195 feet

Respuesta :

Answer:

c

Step-by-step explanation:

1) eliminate the negative answers since we need the amount of feet below a section and a negative number below a section doesn't make sense in this context and would result in a distance higher than the shallowest section.

Just find the absolute value or the difference between 135 and 50 resulting in 85
