Look at the Description below: Then answer the question.
* Salt lake City, Utah is 4330 ft. above sea level. Anderson, South Carolina is 722 ft. above sea level.
* Water boils at sea level at 100 degrees Celsius. The boiling point of water decreases about 5 degrees Celsius for every mile above sea level.
* At about what temperature does water boil in Anderson, South Carolina? In Salt Lake City, Utah? (Hint: 1 mile = 5280 ft.)
Please Help!!
Thank You!
im in pre algebra 7th grade and we have this for hw
Is either of those cities over 1 mile above sea level?
5280 / 5 = 1056
For each 1056 feet the temperature decreases about 1 degree
Anderson is less than 1056 feet about sea level. At what temperature do you think water boils there?
What temperature for Salt Lake City?
no, i don't think so, since 1 mile equals 5280 ft. Utah is 4330 ft. and South Carolina is 722 ft. above sea level. They are both less than a mile.
Right they are less than a mile. But SLC is more than 1056 miles high, so water boils at a lower temperature there than 100 C. About what temperature does water boil in SLC?
If both those cities have altitudes UNDER a mile above sea level, then at what temperature does water boil?
Can you explain more on how you find the answer?
Thanks! :)
