Question

The lowest elevation in California is about 80 meters below sea level. The lowest elevation in Louisiana is also below sea level and is about 1 4 the value of California's lowest elevation. Which value ​best​ represents the lowest elevation, in meters, in Louisiana?

Answer 1

The lowest elevation, in meters, in Louisiana is 20 m below sea level

Explanation:

Below sea level means negative integer

So, Negative integer represents the lowest elevation in California

The lowest elevation in California below sea level = -80 m

We are given that The lowest elevation in Louisiana is also below sea level and is about 1/4 the value of California's lowest elevation.

So, The lowest elevation, in meters, in Louisiana =
`(1)/(4) * (-80)`

The lowest elevation, in meters, in Louisiana = -20 m

Hence The lowest elevation, in meters, in Louisiana is 20 m below sea level
