Mount Kilimanjaro, the tallest mountain in Africa, is 1088 meters taller than Mont Blanc, the tallest mountain in Europe. Mount McKinley is the highest point in North America at 6194 meters. Mount McKinley is 1387 meters taller than Mont Blanc. How tall are Mount Kilimanjaro and Mont Blanc? Explain how you got your answers.

Respuesta :

K = Mount Kilimanjaro
B = Mont Blanc
M = Mount McKinley

K = B + 1088
M = 6194
M = B + 1387

sub  2nd equation back into 3rd
6194 = B + 1387
6194 - 1387 = B
4807 = B <=== Mont Blanc is 4807 meters

K = B + 1088
K = 4807 + 1088
K = 5895 <== Mount Kilimanjaro is 5895 meters

I arrived at these answers by making equations out of the data given. I then subbed in known values to find the answers needed.

Answer: K = 5895 <== Mount Kilimanjaro is 5895 meters
