Answer 1

Answer:

The approximate elevation of the "ojos del salado" volcano is 19,686 feet above sea level

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

y -----> elevation of the "ojos del salado" volcano

x -----> elevation of the "khangar" volcano

we know that

The elevation of the "ojos del salado" volcano is about 3 times as great as the khangar volcano

so

$y=3x$ ----> equation A

we have

$x=6,562\ ft$

substitute the value of x in the equation A

$y=3(6,562)=19,686\ ft$

therefore

The approximate elevation of the "ojos del salado" volcano is 19,686 feet above sea level
