    The mountain is 1.89 miles tall

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Firstly, we need to compute the value in feet of the total distance traveled by the group.

    We were told they traveled 2000 feet per day for 5 days, the total distance they have hiked would be 2000 * 5 = 10,000 feet

    Now, we need to convert this to miles

    Mathematically;

    1 foot = 0.000189 mile

    Hence, 10,000 feet = 10,000 * 0.000189 = 1.89 miles

    This means the mountain is 1.89 miles tall
