ANSWER: 1.562
move the decimal point of 0.0034 to the right to make it a whole number which is 34. Then multiply 34 times 430 which is 15,620.
move the decimal point (which is at the end) 4 times to the left
the answer will be 1.562
The person above me is right!! I kinda got confused because i thought it was asking what sea level is the diver now BUT its asking for the elevation, so you need to subtract.
Just subtract 622 feet from 486 feet to get the change in elevation. The result will be negative because your friend's house is at a lower elevation than yours.
Now find the mean change in elevation per mile by dividing (486 ft - 622 ft) by 4 miles:
-136 ft
----------- = -34 ft/mile
4 mi
