Question

The lowest altitude of an altocumulus cloud is about 3838 feet. The highest altitude of an altocumulus cloud is about 3 times the lowest altitude. What is the highest altitude of an altocumulus cloud? Write your answer as a power.

Answer 1

The highest altitude of an altocumulus cloud is 11514 feet, which is calculated by multiplying the given lowest altitude of 3838 feet by three.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the highest altitude of an altocumulus cloud, we take the given lowest altitude of 3838 feet and multiply it by three, because we are told the highest altitude is about three times the lowest altitude.

So, the highest altitude = 3838 feet × 3. Now, let's carry out the multiplication.

3838 × 3 = 11514

To express this number as a power, we look for a base and an exponent such that the base raised to the exponent equals 11514. Since no perfect power of a simpler base exactly equals 11514, we represent the altitude in its base form, which is already a type of power (in this case base 10, but it's not common to do so with non-rounded or non-standard numbers).

Therefore, the highest altitude of an altocumulus cloud is 11514 feet.

Answer 2

I think you multiply 3838 × 3 and the answer would be 11,514
