The lowest elevation in Long Beach, California, is 7 ¾ feet below sea level. The elevation of Death Valley is about 40 times lower than the elevation of Long Beach. What is the elevation of Death Valley?

Respuesta :

Answer:

The elevation of Death Valley = 31/160 feet

Step-by-step explanation: Since

The lowest elevation in Long Beach, California, is 7 ¾ feet 

Let say L = 7 ¾ feet 

The elevation of Death Valley is about 40 times lower than the elevation of Long Beach

That is D = 1/40 of L

D = 1/40 × 31/4

D = 31/160 feet

The elevation of Death Valley is 31/160 feet
