The HIGHEST point in a certain location is a foreign country is 15,541 feet above sea level. The LOWEST point in the same country is 107 feet below sea level. What is the difference between these two elevations?
15,541 + 107 = ?
To calculate the difference between the highest and lowest elevations in this particular country, we need to subtract the lowest elevation from the highest elevation.
Highest point: 15,541 feet above sea level
Lowest point: 107 feet below sea level
To find the difference between these two elevations, we can add the absolute values of these numbers together:
Difference = Absolute Value(Highest point) + Absolute Value(Lowest point)
Absolute Value(Highest point) = Absolute Value(15,541) = 15,541
Absolute Value(Lowest point) = Absolute Value(-107) = 107
Difference = 15,541 + 107 = 15,648
Therefore, the difference between the highest and lowest elevations in this country is 15,648 feet.
