Question

please help its dealing with temperature Attached is the question Allonzo was riding in a bike race and close to a valley in a nearby mountain range table gives the altitude (in feet above sea level )for the five checkpoint in the race use a table to answer the questions There are other pics attached showing examples and how to write it out ive done it about every way to think and im stumped the extra pics are not question just examples

Answer 1

So in part a we need to find the altitude of the hill. We know its difference with checkpoint 2 is 338 feet. This means that:

`\text{Altitude of the top of the hill}-338ft=\text{Altitude of checkpoint 2}`

If I use h for the altitude of the top of the hill and -193ft for the altitude of checkpoint 2 as the table states we get:

`\begin{gathered} h-338ft=-193ft \\ \text{If I add 338 ft at both sides of the equation:} \\ h-338ft+338ft=-193ft+338ft \\ h=145ft \end{gathered}`

Then the altitude of the top of the hill is 145ft.

In part b we need to find how much lower is checkpoint 2 than checkpoint 4. This basically means that we must find the difference between their altitudes. This is given by taking checkpoint 4's altitude and substracting checkpoint 2's altitude:

`2475ft-(-193ft)=2475ft+193ft=2668ft`

Then checkpoint 2 is 2668ft lower than checkpoint 4.
