    continent is the Qattarah Depression in the Sahara
    Desert, 436 feet below sea level. The lowest point on
    the North American continent is Death Valley,
    California, 282 feet below sea level. Find the
    difference in these elevations.

  2. TRAMS A tram line makes a 5,250-foot descent
    from a mountaintop to the base of the mountain in
    15 equal stages. How much does it descend in each
    stage?

  3. CARD GAMES After the first round of a card
    game, Tommy had a score of 8. When he lost the
    second round, he had to deduct the value of the cards

    illustration.) What was his score after two rounds of
    the game? For scoring, face cards (Kings, Queens, and
    Jacks) are counted as 10 points and aces as 1 point.
