I believe you would do the feet ,130, divided by the minutes ,35, to get how many feet per minute. It would get you a never ending decimal of 3.714285. So every minute he would drop about 4 feet. You will have to put it how it says to for what your answering is. If it says round to the whole number then he would drop 4 feet, but I hope this helps you in any way :)
