Bertha and Vernon are competing in a diving competition. Bertha's dive ended -28 m from the starting platform. Vernon's dive ended -4 m from the starting platform. How many times farther was the end of Bertha's dive than the end of Vernon's dive?
A.
-7
B.
-24
C.
7
D.
24

Respuesta :

It would be C . You can figure it out by seeing how many times -4 goes into -28, which is 7 times. If you're not sure whether it is negative or positive then you could either use a calculator to check or remember this rule a negative times a negative is a positive which means your answer would have been 28 not -28.
