The admiral is in a submarine that is 550 feet below sea level. The submarine then descends 108 feet. What is the new position of the submarine?
658 feet
442 feet
-442 feet
-658 feet
The new position of the submarine is 550 feet below sea level plus the descent of 108 feet, which is -442 feet.
To find the new position of the submarine, you need to subtract the descent distance from the initial depth.
Initial depth: 550 feet
Descent distance: 108 feet
550 - 108 = 442
Therefore, the new position of the submarine is 442 feet below sea level.
The correct answer is 442 feet.
