Please Help ! Janice was at the surface of a swimming pool and recorded the following two measurements, in feet, on a number line:

−8, which represents the depth of water in the swimming pool
+12, which represents the height of the slide at the pool

Part A: What does 0 represent in this situation? (3 points)

Part B: Describe the height of the slide in relation to 0 in the situation. (3 points)

Part C: Janice held a pole in the swimming pool. The bottom of the pole was at a depth of 4 feet. How should Janice mark the level of the bottom of the pole on the number line? Explain how you determined this. (4 points)

b

step-by-step explanation:

a difference is the result of subtraction. while each of these expressions has subtraction in it, a difference will be the result when subtraction is the last operation applied in the order of operations for the expression. this means subtraction must be outside of the parenthesis. only b has this.

option a is correct.

step-by-step explanation:

scale factor: it is used to find proportional measurements.

proportions means having the same ratio.

scale factor is the ratio of the model measurement to the actual measurement in a simplest form.

or we can say that the ratio of any two corresponding lengths in two similar geometric figures

if the scale factor is more than 1, then it is an enlargement,

if the scale factor less than 1, then it is a reduction.

given the two geometric figure:

by definition of proportions, we have
