Answer: 5.86yd
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question, we are informed that Esteban stands on a dock 1.25 yd above the water and that a fish swims below Esteban at -4.61 yd from the surface of the water.
The distance between Esteban and the fish can be calculated by subtracting -4.61 yd from 1.25 yd. This will be:
= 1.25 yd - (-4.61 yd)
= 1.25 yd + 4.61 yd
= 5.86 yd
