Question
Jenny is riding in a bike race that goes through a valley and a nearby mountain range.The table gives the altitude (in feet above sea level) for the five checkpoints in the race.Use the table to answer the questions.Checkpoint Altitude(feet above sea level)1 −1742 2,8553 1,2824 −535 −92(a) How much higher is Checkpoint 4 than Checkpoint 5?fthigher(b) The top of a hill rises 343 feet above Checkpoint 1.What is the altitude of the top of the hill?ft
Solution
(a) To find out how much higher Checkpoint 4 is than Checkpoint 5, we need to subtract the altitude of Checkpoint 5 from the altitude of Checkpoint 4.
Altitude at Checkpoint 4 = -5 feet Altitude at Checkpoint 5 = -92 feet
So, -5 - (-92) = 87 feet
Checkpoint 4 is 87 feet higher than Checkpoint 5.
(b) The top of a hill rises 343 feet above Checkpoint 1. To find the altitude of the top of the hill, we need to add the altitude of Checkpoint 1 to 343 feet.
Altitude at Checkpoint 1 = -174 feet
So, -174 + 343 = 169 feet
The altitude of the top of the hill is 169 feet.
