Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Part A:
Mount Everest Great Himalayas of southern Asia 8,849.87 meters
In scientific notation
8.84987 * 10 ^3
Rounding to the nearest whole number
9 * 10 ^3
Mount Olympus Mytikas, Greece 2,919.07 meters
In scientific notation
2.91907 * 10 ^3
Rounding to the nearest whole number
3 * 10 ^3
Taking Everest and diving by Olympus
9 * 10 ^3÷3 * 10 ^3 = 9/3 * 10 ^ (3-3) = 3
3 times
Part B:
Mount Everest Great Himalayas of southern Asia 8,849.87 meters
In scientific notation
8.84987 * 10 ^3
Mount Olympus Mytikas, Greece 2,919.07 meters
In scientific notation
2.91907 * 10 ^3
Taking Everest and diving by Olympus
8.84987 * 10 ^3÷2.91907 * 10 ^3
8.84987/2.91907 * 10^(3-3) = 3.031742987
Part C:
The estimate is reasonable. The estimate of 3 is very close to the value of 3.031742987 Therefore, we can conclude that the estimates for the heights were accurate.
