Answer:
D
Explanation:
Firstly, to answer this question, we need to calculate the change in elevation.
Let’s just think of the question as, the distance from the foot of the mountain to the top is 4,418 meters. Now we have climbers starting at a height of 2,550 meters. We now need to know the difference or the distance to which they have climbed.
To calculate this is quite straightforward, all we need do is to subtract the starting point from the end position.
Mathematically that would be 4,418 - 2,550 = 1,868 meters
Now our answer need be in foot. we have a conversion system given in the question already.
1 foot = 0.3048 meters
x foot = 1,868 meters
x = 1,868/0.3048
x = 6,128.6 feet which is approximately 6,129 feet
