A village at 900 metres on the hills and Jericho at 250 metres below sea level. What is the height difference?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: A. 1,150 metres
- Step 1: The village is above sea level and Jericho is below it. Step 2. Add the two distances from sea level: 900 plus 250. Answer: 1,150 metres. Why not the others: 650 comes from subtracting and the others miscount.
