Let "f" represent the highest elevation in Florida.

Minnesota's elevation is 700m. This elevation of 700m is 6 2/3 times higher than f, the highest elevation in Flordia.

Key words: "is" means equal to (=), "times" means multiplication (*).
[tex]700m = 6 \frac{2}{3}*F \\ \\ 700m = \frac{20}{3}F \\ \\ 700m* \frac{3}{20} = F \\ \\ F = 105m[/tex]
