Read this word problem.
A guppy was swimming 8 feet below the surface of the river. It swam down 6 more feet
to escape a large, hungry fish. What is the position of the guppy now relative to the
surface?
To solve the problem, Jenna subtracted 8 - 6 and came up with an answer of 2 feet. Is Jenna
correct? Why or why not?

Answer:No because once the guppy swam down 8 feet below the surface of the river the 8 is now negative since the surface of the ocean is 0 and 0-8=-8 and then he swam down 6 feet more so we have to subtract-8-6= -14 feet so the position of the guppy is now -14 feet below sea level.
