Answer:

[tex]\frac{8,848}{1}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{8,586}{1}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

1. The number 8,848 is an integer and the number 8,586 is also a integer.

2. Therefore, to solve this problem you must convert the integers shown above to fractions (Because a rational number is that one that can be written as a fraction), as you can see below:

Write each integer as a the numerator of the fraction a write 1 as the denominator. This will not change the value.

Then you obtain the following fractions:

[tex]\frac{8,848}{1}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{8,586}{1}[/tex]

3. Then, the elevation of Mount Everest's peak as a rational number is  [tex]\frac{8,848}{1}[/tex] meters. The elevation of Kanchenjunga's peak as a rational number is [tex]\frac{8,586}{1}[/tex] meters.
