Question

A mountain climber ascends a mountain to its peak. The peak is 12,740 ft above sea level. The climber then descends 200 ft to meet a fellow climber. Find the climber’s elevation above sea level after meeting the other climber. 12,940 ft 12,540 ft –12,540 ft 10,740 ft

Answer 1

Answer:12,450

Step-by-step explanation: Since the climber descends to meet a fellow climber by 200 ft you are going to subtract so the equation is going to be 12,740-200 ft so what does that equal it equals 12,540 ft because it is only subtracting 740-200 ft so 740-200=540 so your answer would more likely be 12,540 not the negative answer.
