steps too please?? i got 12, 540.. but i think its wrong. idk?! if so please help!

Answer 1

That's more than 1 word.

your answer is correct.

Answer 2

If he starts at the peak of 12,740 feet and descends 200 feet to meet another climber, then he met the other climber at 12,540 feet (which is your answer).  12,740 - 200 = 12,540.  The only thing that's confusing is that solving this question does not involve algebra.

Answer 3

well u just subtract 200 from the 740 so the answer is right

12,540

Answer 4

no, its not wrong. u got it right. all u need to do is subtract 200ft from 12,740ft n u get 12,540ft.

Answer 5

yes the answer is 12,540

all you have to do is subtract 200.

Answer 6

The mountain climber started at 12,740 ft., now subtract 200 ft. from it, which is now 12,540.
