In the image, the problem (Question 7) is:

**"Sam climbed to a height of 10 ft from the bottom of a mountain. He then climbed up an additional 5 ft. What action does Sam need to take to return back to the bottom of the mountain?"**

### Solution:
- Sam is currently at a total height of **10 ft + 5 ft = 15 ft**.
- To return to the bottom, Sam would need to descend (climb down) **15 ft**.

Thus, the correct answer is:
- **Sam needs to climb down 15 ft**.

### Related Questions:
1. If Sam climbed another 7 ft, how far would he be from the bottom?
2. If Sam climbed to 20 ft and wanted to return halfway down, how far should he descend?
3. If Sam was 5 ft below the bottom (in a ditch), how far would he need to climb to reach 10 ft above the bottom?
4. How much higher would Sam be if he climbed an additional 10 ft from his current height?
5. If Sam's total climb was 30 ft but included a descent of 5 ft, how far did he ascend in total?

### Tip:
When dealing with vertical movements, always add the upward climbs and subtract the downward descents to keep track of the total position relative to the starting point.

Sam climbed to a height of 10 ft from the bottom of a mountain. He then climbed up an additional 5 ft. What action does Sam need to take to return back to the bottom of the mountain?

In this problem, Sam climbs 10 ft and an additional 5 ft up a mountain. The total height climbed is 15 ft, and Sam needs to descend this distance to return to the base. Explore concepts of addition and subtraction of rational numbers, suitable for Grade 6.
