Boiling Point
January26
The boiling point of water is 212 degrees Fahrenheit at sea level. However, the boiling point temperature decreases about 1 degree Fahrenheit for every 500 feet in altitude. At this rate, what is the boiling point of water in Reno, NV if Reno’s altitude is 4400 feet above sea level? Write an equation that can be used for any city’s altitude using “b” for the boiling point and A for the city’s altitude.
500/a = decrease of degree. 212- decrease of degree=b
204 degrees farenheit
about 204*f
212-a/500=b
212- a/500 =b
the altuted for B 4400times by 212 then divide by 500=???
4400×212 and then divide by 500
194
your answer would be 194 degrees farinheit:)
at this point it be close to space if you your ging up but if your going down then it would be close to the bottem of the ocean floor
Margo, please reread the blog question and try your answer again.
203.2 would be the boiling tempture in Reno.
4,400/500a-212b=203.2
i think the answer is you have divide 500 into 4400 and add it by 212 and that is your answer
i think it would be 750
Well for starters we have 500 feet per 1 degree (500ft./1°). So 4000 divided by 500 equals 8 times 1° equals 8°. 212° minus 8° equals 204°. So we have left 400ft. and 400 dvided by 500 equals 4/5 (0.8). 0.8 times 1° equals 0.8°. 204° minus 0.8° equals 203.2°. So my answer to your question, What’s the boiling point in Reno, NV, is 203.2°F.
√ 4400ft./500ft-212°F= 203.2°F

Notes:
A= City’s Altitude
B= boiling point
Equation: A/500ft.-212°F=B
Sorry about my earlier comment I was wrong.
The boiling point of water in Reno is 203.2
The equation is A/500=212-b where A=4400 so
4400/500=212-b
8.8=212-b
b=212-8.8
b=203.2
I think its (a÷500)a-n=b
N=the answer which was divided by 500
Which tge answer is 4312
212-b
500+a
550b>a=4400
b divid by 213=4400 which is 212 i think thats the right answer so thats it.
b – a/500 = x b=212
800=500divided by4400

I know how to figure out the answer but don’t know how to do the equation. I know that the answer is 203.2 for the boiling point in Reno. 4400 divided by 500=8.8 and 212-8.8=203.2′ F
the temprature in Reno would decrease 8.8 degrees fahrenheit which the boiling water would be at 204.8 degrees fahrenheit.
b+a=204.8 b=212 a=4400
500 + 500 + 500 + 500 + 500 + 500 + 500 + 500 + 400 = 4400

931,104 Boiling Point of water
b= 931,104 A= 4,392
A/500/1= B (the answer is 204.6 and / = divided by)
B/A=200 degrees Fahrenheit…
Mrs.Ellison, I don’t get it so I am taking my best guess on it. 🙁
b + a/500 = ? b=212
b=212 a+500
4354
What is this D’angela?
B+212=4400
A+1(500)=the answer
the boiling rate of reno is 203.2 decreases fahrenheit
A divided by 500 – 212 = b
The boiling point is 203.2 degrees. An equation that can be used is 212-(A/500) = b
500×8=a/19.60=b
boiling point at sea level is 212 degrees so if we go up to reno, which is 4,400 higher, the boiling point would go down one degree for every 500 ft. which makes the boiling point here in reno around 204 to 203 degrees.
b = 203
——
a = 4400
I got this by Subtracting 1 degree by 500 elevation. I got up to 4400 with 203 and I put b for 203 and a for 4400 and got the answer that I have above.
My equation for this problem is 212 minus 1a equals b
it would be minus 8 degrees
212(1)-b=500
500(a)=4,400
If x is what you subtract from 212 every time you add give hundred then : B=212+500a-x. And Reno,Nv has 208 degrees farenheit. Thanks.
a+b=4400
4000+400=4400
4400 x a = b
500a·212b=106000-4400
the boiling point in Reno is 203.2 degrees Fahrenheit because the temp. of the boiling point drops 8.8 degrees. The equation is:
212-a/500=b
Oh no! Who does this belong to?
the anonymous one is mine. I’m still trying to figure out how to do this.
Hai its me .-.
such lazy when loggig in .w.
Oh no D: is it mines or johns .-.
Hmmmm…I don’t know because it has no name. 🙁
boiling point – 8 = altitude
I would say…
if 500=b and 212 =a then it would be about 204*F.
🙂
a/500/1=b=204.6
sorry i was so late
Its 203.2degrees a/500-212=b
500a-1 = b The answer is 203.8 degrees
The boiling point is 203.2○F
212-(A/500)=b
Sorry Mrs. Ellison! I totally forgot about the blog because I looked at it Monday and thought I did it then. So I looked at my grades and saw it was missing so my fault. But this is what I got!:) thanks!
203.8 degrees fahrenheit
AxB=932800 divided by 500 and you should get 1865
212- a/500 =b
about 204 degrees .
212-a/500=b that would be the ansawer
if x what you sudtract from 212 every time you add give hundred then b=212+504 🙂
500b-1a
The boiling point of water in Reno is 203.2
The equation is A/500=212-b where A=4400 so
4400/500=212-b
8.8=212-b
b=212-8.8
b=203.2
204 degrees Fahrenheit
the boiling point would be 204 degrees farenheit a divided by 500=8 212-8=b
203,2
212-(A/500) = b
I think about 204
I divided 5oo and 212
B-500/A?
I think its…
212-a/500=b
212-(a) sea level/500ft (b)
212-(a) sea level/500ft (b)
You subtract X from 212 every time you add + 100 then : B=212+500a-x.Reno has 208’F
=3
divide 4400 by 500 so that you know how many degrees its dropped in Fahrenheit. then subtract hat from 212 and you get 302.2
its probably about 204f
a/500-212=b
Divide 500 into 4400 then add 212 by then you et ur answer jordyn h 5th
if you divide A by 500 – 212 = b
you would divide 500 by 4400 and it came out 8.8 and then it equals 204 degrees Fahrenheit.
the boiling rate of reno is 203.2
Equation- A/500-212=B
Answer- 204 degrees Fahrenheit
204 degrees
204 degrees
212- a/500 =b
The boiling point in reno is302.2.

It ‘s about 204 degrees fahrenheit.
212-a/500=b
The boiling point is 203.2 degrees.
————-> 212-(A/500) = b
the boiling rate of reno is 204 degrees
the boiling rate of reno is 204 degrees I think
about 204 degrees fahrenheit
212-a 500=b
204 degrees fahrenheit
i think it is 678 degrees
