Mountains are often measured by the distance they rise above sea level. Mount Everest Washington rises more than 1 1/10 miles above sea level. Mount Everest rises about 5 times as high. About how many miles above sea level does mount Everest risee

Answer 1

Answer:

Mount Everest rise  $5\frac{1}{2}\ miles$  above sea level.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Mountains are often measured by the distance they rise above sea level.

Mount Washington rises more than $1\frac{1}{10}$  miles above sea level.

Mount Everest rises about 5 times as high.

Now, to find the miles above sea level is Mount Everest.

So, the miles of Mount Washington rise above sea level = $1\frac{1}{10} =\frac{11}{10}\ miles.$

And, Mount Everest is 5 times high of Mount Washington:

Now, to get the miles above sea level is Mount Everest rise we multiply 5 by the miles of Mount Washington rise above sea level:

$5\times \frac{11}{10} \\\\=\frac{55}{10} \\\\On\ simplifying:\\\\=\frac{11}{2} \\\\=5\frac{1}{2}\ miles.$

Therefore, Mount Everest rise $5\frac{1}{2}\ miles$ above sea level.
