Question

The Kaibab Trail at the Grand Canyon begins at 7,000 feet above sea level. If you descend on the trail 4,500 feet to the Colorado River and then hike up 1,375 feet to a campsite, how many feet above sea level are you?
You are____
feet above sea level.

Answer 1

Answer:

3875 feet above sea level

Step-by-step explanation: First, you would subtract 4,500 from 7,000 because you're going down. Then, since you're going up, you would add 1,375.

7,000- 4,500 = 2,500

2,500+ 1,375 = 3875
