Kira Cervantes · Answer 1

2321 ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

When Cai traveled from New Orleans to the Ozark Mountains in Arkansas the elevation changes from 7 ft below sea level to 2314 ft above sea level.

If we consider the elevation below sea level as negative and the elevation above sea level as positive, then the elevation changes from - 7ft to + 2314 ft.

Therefore, the increment of elevation is by [2314 - ( - 7) ] = 2321 ft. (Answer)
