Question 214920
<s>You're missing the rise to run ratio. Please repost with full problem.</s>



Edit:


Since the rise to run ratio is 4/5, this means that the rise is 4 while the run is 5. In other words, if you are at the ground level, and you want to move up the hill, you simply go up 4 feet while walking toward the hill 5 feet. Visually, this is shown as going up 4 units and going 5 units to the right.



Because we know that the "distance from the bottom of the lift to the center of the mountain is 6000 ft", we can set up the proportion: {{{4/5=x/6000}}} (where 'x' is the height of the mountain)




{{{4/5=x/6000}}} Start with the given equation.



{{{(4/5)*6000=x}}} Multiply both sides by 6000



{{{24000/5=x}}} Multiply



{{{4800=x}}} Simplify



So the answer is  {{{x=4800}}} 



This means that the height of the hill is 4,800 feet.
