Let "f" represent the highest elevation in Florida.

Minnesota's elevation is 700m. This elevation of 700m is 6 2/3 times higher than f, the highest elevation in Flordia.

Key words: "is" means equal to (=), "times" means multiplication (*).

700m = 6 (2)/(3)*F \\ \\ 700m = (20)/(3)F \\ \\ 700m* (3)/(20) = F \\ \\ F = 105m
