Answer:

11 7/10 miles below sea level

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following :

Peak of Mount everest = 5 1/2 miles above sea level

Bottom of Mariana trench = 6 9/10 miles below sea level

If mount everest is placed at the bottom of Mariana trench

. It's be will be :

Since sea level could be considered as a 0 point;

Adding the height and depth of both should give us the depth below sea level:

(6 9/10 + 5 1/2) miles

6 + 5 (9/10 + 1/2)

11 (9 + 5)/10

11 14/10

11 7/10

= 11 7/10 miles below sea level
