At one time the aircraft is 200 m above the surface, the submarine is 55 m below the surface, and the underwater robotic vehicle is 227 m below the surface.

1. What is the difference in height between the submarine and the aircraft?

2. What is the distance between the underwater robotic vehicle and the submarine?

Evaluate each expression. When the answer is not a whole number, write your answer as a fraction.

3. \(4 \div \text-6\)
4. \(\frac43 \div \text-24\)
