Question

rocky peak mountain has some very tough hiking trails. the zig zagger trail is especially hard because it has a lot of steep climbs and descents. the table shows the elevation changes over the trails first four miles.

mile	elevation change (ft.)
mile 2	-436
mile 3	798
mile 4	-924

which mile has the greatest elevation change?

mile 1
mile 2
mile 3
mile 4

Explanation:

Step1: Find absolute values

Elevation changes: Mile 1: \(|804| = 804\), Mile 2: \(|-436| = 436\), Mile 3: \(|798| = 798\), Mile 4: \(|-924| = 924\).

Step2: Compare absolute values

Compare \(804\), \(436\), \(798\), \(924\). \(924\) is the largest.

Answer:

mile 4
