Answer 2

Answer:

Mt. Everest is 3.79 miles high.

Solution:

Everest is 20,028 ft high.

As given, 1 mile = 5280 ft

So $1 \mathrm{ft}=\left(\frac{1}{5280}\right) \mathrm{mile}$

Then 20,028 ft will be $=20028 \times\left(\frac{1}{5280}\right) \text { mile }=\left(\frac{20028}{5280}\right) \text { mile }$

$=\left(\frac{10014}{2640}\right) \text { mile }=\frac{5007}{1320} \text { mile }=3.79 \text { mile }$

The height of Everest is 3.79 miles .

Note: The actual height of Mt. everest is 5.4979 miles or 29029 ft.
