Water boils at sea level at 100°C. The boiling point of water decreases about 5°C for every mile above sea level.
Santa Fe, New Mexico is at 7200 feet above sea level. At about what temperature does water boil in Santa Fe? (hint: 1 mi = 5280 feet).
a.
about 63°C
c.
about 96°C
b.
about 93°C
d.
about 50°C

Answer 1

about 93 degrees

Answer 2

celcius

Answer 3

1mi/5280feet=xmi/7200ft
cross multiply, solve for x. That tells you how many miles above you are
Divide 7200 by 5280 to find how many miles above you are
Take the number of miles you are above sea level, multiply that times 5. Subtract that answer from 100.
