The elevation of city a is 96 feet below sea level; the elevation of city c is 24 feet below sea level. the elevation of city d is 1/4 of the elevation of city c. write an expression to represent the elevation, in feet, of city d. solve the expression and explain why the answer is negative or positive.

C ÷ D- EXPRESSION
-24÷1/4=-18
24
- 6

18

The answer​ is negative because when you divide 24 by 4 you get 6. and since the number 24 is negative.you need to subtract 6 from 24 to get -18 which is negative.

P.S:I am a 6th graders who doesn't really understand negatives, but i tried my best and got this answer.
