To determine the new position of the Navy submarine after ascending 200 feet, we need to add the ascent distance to its current position below sea level.
The current position is 650 feet below sea level, represented as -650.
Adding the ascent distance of 200 feet to the current position:
-650 + 200 = -450
Therefore, the integer that represents the submarine's new position is -450.
To find the new position of the Navy submarine after ascending 200 feet from its original depth of 650 feet below sea level, we need to add the ascent distance to the original depth.
Original depth: -650 feet
Ascent distance: +200 feet
Therefore, the new position of the Navy submarine would be:
-650 feet + 200 feet = -450 feet
So, the integer that represents its new position is -450.
