Question 11 • SS-Math 7

Which statements describe negative integers? Check all that apply.

Answer
A
A ship sank to 25 meters below sea level.
B
Josué climbed up 32 stairs.
C
A rollercoaster went 50 feet up a hill.
D
Jack lost $20.

Explanation

Negative integers describe quantities below zero or losses. A ship 25 meters below sea level is represented by −25, and losing $20 is represented by −20. Climbing stairs and going up a hill describe positive changes, so those are not negative integers.
