A driver swims 5.875 feet up to the surface of the water. Which number represents the driver position in relation to the surface before swimming to the top. A.-5.9 B. - 5 3/4 C.-58 D.-5 7/8 feet

-5 7/8 ft (Answer D)

Step-by-step explanation:

Note that 5.875 ft is the same as 5 7/8 ft.

The diver is initially 5 7/8 ft beneath the water surface, so we give that 5 7/8 ft the negative sign:

-5 7/8 ft represents the diver's position in relation to the surface.
