Question

the ojos del salado volcano has an elevation about 3 times as great as the khangar volcano. If the khangar volcani is 6,562 feet above sea level what is the approximate elevation of the ojos del salado volcano?​

Answer 1

The approximate elevation of the "ojos del salado" volcano is 19,686 feet above sea level

Explanation:

Let

y -----> elevation of the "ojos del salado" volcano

x -----> elevation of the "khangar" volcano

we know that

The elevation of the "ojos del salado" volcano is about 3 times as great as the khangar volcano

so

`y=3x` ----> equation A

we have

`x=6,562\ ft`

substitute the value of x in the equation A

`y=3(6,562)=19,686\ ft`

therefore

The approximate elevation of the "ojos del salado" volcano is 19,686 feet above sea level
