Acarp is swimming approximately 8 1/4 feet beneath the water’s surface, and a sunfish is swimming approximately 3 1/2 feet beneath the water’s surface. which fish is swimming farther beneath the water’s surface?

The carp is swimming farther beneath the water's surface.

Step-by-step explanation:

The water surface is considered the number 0 in the number line. Positions below water's surface are considered negative.

The integer that represents the position of the carp is -8 1/4 feet or -8.25 feet.

The integer that represents the position of the sunfish is -3 1/2 feet or -3.5 feet.

In the number line we can see that carp postion is at the left most of the water surface, so the carp is swimming farther beneath the water's surface.
