Question
One of the mountains on the Idaho/Wyoming border, is 11,394 feet above sea level. Convert the mountain's elevation into miles. (Hint: 1 mile = 5280 feet). (Round your answer to 2 decimal places
Solution
To convert the mountain's elevation from feet to miles, you need to divide the elevation in feet by the number of feet in a mile.
Here are the steps:
- Identify the elevation in feet: 11,394 feet
- Identify the conversion factor: 1 mile = 5280 feet
- Divide the elevation in feet by the number of feet in a mile: 11,394 feet ÷ 5280 feet/mile
Let's do the calculation:
11,394 ÷ 5280 = 2.15795454545 miles
Rounding this to two decimal places gives: 2.16 miles
So, the mountain's elevation is approximately 2.16 miles.
