lake superior has a maximum depth of 1.333 thousand feet. there are 5,280 feet in one mile. how deep is lake superior in miles? round to the nearest hundredth if necessary. explain the answer

1333/5280 because you would take the depth and then divide it evenly among the 5280 to get the amount of miles and then your answer would come out as .25 if you round to the hundredth otherwise .252462121 Hope that helps!

1,333 / 5,280 = 0.25 mile

1.333 *1000 feet * (1 mile/5280 feet)

= 1333/5280
= 0.2525 miles = 0.25

a little over a thousand feet is a little over a quarter of a mile

by the way the Marianas Trench is more like 30,000 feet deep or over five miles

1.333/5,280=

39.60

To determine the depth of Lake Superior in miles, we need to convert the given depth in feet to miles.

Given:
Maximum depth of Lake Superior = 1.333 thousand feet

Since "thousand" implies a number multiplied by 1,000, we can rewrite the depth of Lake Superior as:

Maximum depth of Lake Superior = 1.333 * 1,000 feet

Now, to convert feet to miles, we need to use the conversion factor of 5,280 feet in one mile. We can set up a proportion:

1 mile / 5,280 feet = x miles / (1.333 * 1,000) feet

Now, we can solve for x, which represents the depth of Lake Superior in miles:

x = (1 mile / 5,280 feet) * (1.333 * 1,000 feet)

x = 0.000189393939 miles * 1,333 feet

x ≈ 0.252 miles

Therefore, Lake Superior has a depth of approximately 0.252 miles.
