Answer:

21,844 feet is between 4 and 5 miles.

Explanation:

We are asked to find two integers between which the elevation of the 21,844 feet trench lies in miles.

Let us convert 21,844 feet into miles by dividing 21,844 by 5,280 as 1 mile equals 5,280 feet.


(21,844)/(5,280)=4.137

We can see that 21,844 feet is equal to 4.137 miles, which is greater than 4 miles and less than 5 miles, therefore, 21,844 feet is between 4 and 5 miles.
