Answer 2

2.61 miles

Explanation:

What are units?

A unit can be used for measurement and is commonly found in mathematics to describe length, size, etc.

If we know that 1 mile = 5280 feet, then we can divide the elevation in feet by the number of feet per mile.

The elevation of the Grand Teton in miles would be:

• 13,776 feet ÷ 5280 feet/mile ≈ 2.61 miles

Therefore, the elevation of the Grand Teton is approximately 2.61 miles above sea level when rounded to two decimal places.
