The highest elevation in Minnesota is about 700 meters above sea level. That is 6 2/3 times higher than the highest elevation in Florida. To the nearest meter, what is the highest elevation in Florida?

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
