@NeilMehta You should probably post again because it seems like no one is offering another solution.

New Question:
Mount Elbert's highest point lies at 14400 feet. Mount Cosgriff peaks at 13560 feet. Mt. Elbert is how many feet higher than Mt. Cosgriff?
"Blessed are you when people insult you and persecute you, and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of Me. Rejoice and be glad, for your reward in heaven is great; for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you." Matthew 5:11-12

I have no regrets.

14400 - 13560 = 840

Simple math. Correct! Your turn.

Billy lives at the NW corner of a 7.5 minute topographic map, and his coordinates are 33 degrees, 07 minutes, and 30 seconds North and 95 degrees and 30 minutes West.  One day, he wants to go out to eat.  Luckily, there is a fast food restaurant at 33 degrees, 05 minutes North and 95 degrees, 27 minutes, 30 seconds West.  Giving your exact answer in minutes, how far away is Billy from the fast food restaurant?

That is correct, but I would have preferred it rounded correctly (the calculator gave me 3.535 something, which rounds to 3.54.) Your turn.
