Question

The lowest elevation in Lammefjord, Denmark, is 23 feet below sea level. The elevation of the Sea of Galilee in Israel is about 30 times lower than the elevation of Lammefjord. What is the approximate elevation of the Sae of Galillee written as an integer?

Answer 1

`Sea\ of\ Galilee = -690ft`

Explanation:

Given

`Lowest\ Elevation = 23ft` below sea level

Sea of Galilee = 30 times Lowest in Lammefjord, Denmark

Required

Determine the elevation of the Sea of Galilee

We have that the lowest elevation in Lammefjord is:

`Lowest\ Elevation = -23ft`

It is negative because, the elevation is below sea level.

Calculating the elevation of Sea of Galilee, we have:

Sea of Galilee = 30 times Lowest in Lammefjord, Denmark

`Sea\ of\ Galilee = 30 * -23ft`

`Sea\ of\ Galilee = -690ft`

Hence, the elevation of Sea of Galilee is -690ft or 690ft below sea level
