Answer:
Mount Everest rise [tex]5\frac{1}{2}\ miles[/tex] above sea level.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Mountains are often measured by the distance they rise above sea level.
Mount Washington rises more than [tex]1\frac{1}{10}[/tex] miles above sea level.
Mount Everest rises about 5 times as high.
Now, to find the miles above sea level is Mount Everest.
So, the miles of Mount Washington rise above sea level = [tex]1\frac{1}{10} =\frac{11}{10}\ miles.[/tex]
And, Mount Everest is 5 times high of Mount Washington:
Now, to get the miles above sea level is Mount Everest rise we multiply 5 by the miles of Mount Washington rise above sea level:
[tex]5\times \frac{11}{10} \\\\=\frac{55}{10} \\\\On\ simplifying:\\\\=\frac{11}{2} \\\\=5\frac{1}{2}\ miles.[/tex]
Therefore, Mount Everest rise [tex]5\frac{1}{2}\ miles[/tex] above sea level.
