A model rocket was launched to an altitude of 54,925 feet. How many feet above 10 miles did it travel?
Choose one answer.

2125

since 1 mile is 5280 feet, 10 miles = 52800 feet.

Now just subtract to find the excess.

To find out how many feet above 10 miles the rocket traveled, we need to convert 10 miles to feet and then subtract it from the altitude of the rocket.

1 mile is equal to 5280 feet, so to convert 10 miles to feet, we multiply 10 by 5280.

10 miles * 5280 feet/mile = 52,800 feet

Now, we subtract 52,800 feet (the equivalent of 10 miles) from the altitude of the rocket, which is 54,925 feet.

54,925 feet - 52,800 feet = 2,125 feet

Therefore, the rocket traveled 2,125 feet above 10 miles.
