first you have to find out how many miles Santa Fe is above sea level, then you multiply that by 5 to figure out how much the boiling point decreases.

anonymous · Answer

you have to find out how many miles Santa Fe is above sea level.  it tells you it is 7200ft but you need it in miles....so you would divide the 7200 feet by how many feet are in a mile(5280) once you get that answer, you then multiply by 5 since thats the decrease for every mile
