A mountain climber ascends a mountain to its peak. The peak is 10,783 ft above sea level. The climber then descends 516 ft to meet a fellow climber. Find the climber's elevation above sea level after meeting the other climber.

11,299 ft above sea level
516 ft below sea level
516 ft below sea level
The climber's elevation above sea level after meeting the other climber is 10,267 ft above sea level.
To find the climber's elevation above sea level after meeting the other climber, we need to subtract the descent of 516 ft from the peak elevation of 10,783 ft.
10,783 ft - 516 ft = 10,267 ft
Therefore, the climber's elevation above sea level after meeting the other climber is 10,267 ft.
To find the climber's elevation above sea level after meeting the other climber, we need to subtract the descent of 516 ft from the peak elevation of 10,783 ft.
To do this, we can use the subtraction operation:
10,783 ft - 516 ft = 10,267 ft
Therefore, the climber's elevation above sea level after meeting the other climber is 10,267 ft.
