Question 8 • {MDVA} Math 7 Sem. 1

Which person in the high rise building is closest to the street level?

Answer
A
Moira is in her doctor’s office on the fourth floor.
B
Geoffrey is in the elevator between the second and third floors.
C
Sandy is in the laundry room on the –2 basement floor.
D
Hasim is leaving the parking garage and is currently between –1 and –2 levels.

Explanation

Street level is level 0, so compare each person’s distance from 0. Hasim is between levels −1 and −2, so he is less than 2 levels below street level. Sandy is exactly 2 levels below, while Moira and Geoffrey are more than 2 levels away. Therefore, Hasim is closest to the street level.
