Adolphin is at -- 28 feet. it swims up and jumps out of the water to a height of 8 feet. find the vertical distance the dolphin travels. justify your answer

The vertical depth travelled by the dolphin = 36 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The dolphin is a fish that can jump out of the water and therefore it is used in circus shows and exhibitions.

Initially the dolphin is at a depth of 28 feet deep inside the water surface.It comes to water surface and then jumps out of the water to a height of 8 feet.

The vertical distance travelled by the dolphin can be found by taking the difference of final height and initial depth.

Vertical depth = final height - initial depth

                        = 8 - (-28)

                         = 36 feet

The vertical depth travelled by the dolphin = 36 feet

i think there was a typo. you wrote pat brings 3 quarts of ice-cream to the party. each serving of ice-cream is 1 6 quart. how many total servings of ice-cream does pat bring to the party? i think the bold is supposed to be 1/6. so 1 quart of ice cream = 6 servings. 6 * 3 = 18.
