Answer
Pacific Ocean: $14,040$ feet
Indian Ocean $12,800$ feet
Caribbean Sea $8,448$ feet
China Sea $4,802$ feet
Gulf of California $2,375$ feet
Work Step by Step
To sort the bodies of water from deepest to shallowest, we first take the absolute value of the "average depth" column, and then arrange the numbers from largest to smallest:
Pacific Ocean: $|-14,040|=14,040$ feet
Indian Ocean $|-12,800|=12,800$ feet
Caribbean Sea $|-8,448|=8,448$ feet
China Sea $|-4,802|=4,802$ feet
Gulf of California $|-2,375|=2,375$ feet
