Zoey is 362 meters below sea level while visiting a part of Israel. She descends 71 meters to visit the Dead Sea. Which numbers should she use to estimate the depth, in meters, of the Dead Sea?

Answer
A
–400 and –50
B
–400 and 50
C
400 and 50
D
400 and –50

Explanation

Zoey starts at 362 meters below sea level, which is represented by −362. Descending another 71 meters means adding −71, so the Dead Sea is at about −433 meters. Rounding the numbers to estimate gives −400 and −50, which are the numbers in choice A.
