Question

One fish is 4 feet below sea level. Another fish is 3 feet below sea level. Writing each position as an integer, which integer is greater?

Answer 1

3 feet below `(-3)`

Explanation:

Assuming that the integers increase with increasing height and sea level is zero:

`4`ft below sea level `=-4` and
`3` ft below = `-3`

so `-3` would be greater (more positive).
