Answer 2

Answer:

The Boundary peak is 48.58% higher than Guadalupe peak.

Step-by-step explanation:

Givens:

• Boundary Peak is 13,000 ft high.
• Guadalupe Peak is 8,749.75 high.

To know how much higher is Boundary Peak than Guadalupe peak, we only need to subtract:

Boundary Peak - Guadalupe peak = 13,000 - 8,749.75 = 4250.25 m.

However, the best way to represent this is to express it in percentage. To do that, we need to use the rule of three. If 100% is 8749.75, what percentage would be 13000:

$13000m\frac{100\%}{8749.75m}=148.58 \%$

Therefore, the Boundary peak is 48.58% higher than Guadalupe peak.
