NUMERICAL EXPRESSION:______________________________________________________

ELEVATION:____________________________________________________________________



Answer :

The first night he camped at the elevation of 18,492 and the next day he descended 2,516 feet, so we can write it as a following numerical expression:

18,492 - 2,516

To find the elevation he camped at during the second time, we just have to calculate the expresion:

18,492 - 2,516 = 15,976 [feet]
