Answer 2

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((1)/(5280)\right) \mathrm{mile}`

Then 20,028 ft will be
`=20028 *\left((1)/(5280)\right) \text { mile }=\left((20028)/(5280)\right) \text { mile }`

`=\left((10014)/(2640)\right) \text { mile }=(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.
