Maria drove from Los Angeles (elevation 330 feet) to Death Valley (elevation –282 feet). What is the difference in elevation between Los Angeles and Death Valley?

Find the distance between the elevations by subtracting the lower elevation from the higher one: 330 − (−282) = 330 + 282 = 612 feet. The difference is 612 feet, so the correct choice is D, 612 feet.
