Answer 2

the height above the seal level at the end of the hike is
`1528 (1)/(5) feet`

Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

`= 1542 - 13 (4)/(5)\\\\= 1542 - (69)/(5)\\\\= (7710-69)/(5) \\\\= (7641)/(5)\\\\= 1528 (1)/(5) feet`

Hence, the height above the seal level at the end of the hike is
`1528 (1)/(5) feet`
