Question

The lowest elevation in Nevada is about 65

meters below sea level. The lowest elevation in
Florida is about 2/5the value of the lowest
elevation in Nevada. Which value best represents
the lowest elevation, in meters, in Florida?

Answer 1

-26 meters

Explanation:

first do 65/5 because it is asking how much less florida´s elevation is than nevada´s. and because it is a fraction you do it divided by 5.

65/5=13

so now because the fraction was 2/5 do 13+13

you get 26. so florida´s lowest point is -26 meters.
