A dive ring on the bottom of the pool is 10 feet below the surface of the water. Sabine dives down and brings the ring back to the surface. What integer represents the dive ring's final position with respect to the surface of the water.

The final position of the dive ring with respect to surface of water ls 0.

Representing position using integer :

10 feets below the surface = - 10

To recover the ring, then, Sabine needs to 10 feets below the surface.

The surface the water = sea level position = 0

Since, Sabine takes the ring back to the surface, then the final position of the dive ring will be the sea level.

The final position of the dive ring = 0

We know that we use negative sign in integers to show a value is decreased or dropped and positive sign to show increase or rise.

Given : A dive ring on the bottom of the pool is 10 feet below the surface of the water. Sabine dives down and brings the ring back to the surface.

i.e. Integer represents the distance Sabine dives down = -10 feet  (1)

and Integer represents to come back to surface = +10  feet  (2)

Now, the final position will be (combine (1) and (2)) :

-10+10=0

Thus, the integer represents the dive ring's final position with respect to the surface of the water = 0
