To find the height of Mt. Foraker, we can start by determining the height of Mt. McKinley. Given that Mt. McKinley is 890 meters taller than Mt. Foraker, we can represent the height of Mt. McKinley as x + 890, where x represents the height of Mt. Foraker. Additionally, we know that Mt. McKinley is 1198 meters taller than Mt. Blackburn, which has a height of 4996 meters. Therefore, the height of Mt. McKinley can be represented as 4996 + 1198.
Combining these two equations, we can write:
x + 890 = 4996 + 1198
Simplifying the equation:
x + 890 = 6194
Next, let's isolate x by subtracting 890 from both sides of the equation:
x = 6194 - 890
Calculating:
x = 5304
Therefore, the height of Mt. Foraker is 5304 meters.
