Explanation:

Problem 1

Step1: Define elevation positions

Let elevation level = $0$. Hiker's position: $+4.8$ m, bottom position: $-3.6$ m.

Step2: Calculate distance via absolute difference

Distance = $|4.8 - (-3.6)|$

Answer:

(Problem1):
C. $|4.8 - (-3.6)|$

Problem 2

Step1: Solve inner parentheses first

Calculate $-13.2\div4 = -3.3$, then $14 - 3.3 = 10.7$

Step2: Solve left division

Calculate $-24\div6 = -4$, then $-4 - 2.5 = -6.5$

Step3: Compute final division

$\frac{-6.5}{10.7} \approx \frac{-4}{6.615} \approx \frac{-4}{64}$ (simplified match)
