Firefly squid are typically found 365 meters below the ocean’s surface, or

at a depth of -365 meters. Some are found at a depth 183 meters higher

than this. At what depth can the shallower firefly squid be found?

• 365 + 183 = - 182
  The shallower squid are at a depth of -182 meters. So, the answer is -182.
  Fill in -182.
