She wants to know how much higher Mount Everest is than r, Mount RainierEnter an expression to represent the difference in heights of the two mountains The expression is ____ - ____.Tell what the variable in your expression.The variable r represents the height of ______ in meters

Answer 1

1) Since we've been told that

Mount Everest 8,848 m

Mount Rainier r

2) We can write that as an algebraic expression, since the height of mount Rainier hasn't been given

The expression is d= 8,848 - r

Since the Everest is the highest mountain in the world.

d = difference

r = Rainier's height

The variable r represents the height of Mount Rainier in meters
