In order to get the total distance that Kristen and her family climb during their cave tour. Simply add the distance that they've climbed down, and the distance in getting back up, ignoring the negative value since we are fin ding the total meters that they climb, and that includes going up and down.
Solution:
= 8 meters + 8 meters
= 16 meters
Kristen and her family climb a total of 16 meters.
