To find the difference in elevation between the mountain climber and the stone, we have to subtract the altitude of the stone from the altitude of the mountain climber.
The altitude of the mountain climber is 29,035 ft, and the altitude of the stone is -1,349 ft (since it's below sea level).
Therefore, the difference in elevation between the mountain climber and the stone is:
29,035 ft - (-1,349 ft) = 29,035 ft + 1,349 ft = 30,384 ft
Therefore, the difference in elevation between the mountain climber and the stone is 30,384 ft.
Enter your answer and show all the steps that you use to solve this problem in the space provided.
A mountain climber on Mt. Everest is at 29,035 ft above sea level. A stone at the bottom of the Dead Sea is at 1,349 ft below sea level. What is the difference in elevation between the mountain climber and the stone?
