Question

After reaching the top of a cliff, a rock climber descended the rock face using a 65 ft rope. The distance to the base of the cliff was 585 ft. How many rope lengths did it take the climber to complete her descent

Answer 1

The climber used 9 rope lengths to complete her descent.

To solve this, simply divide the length of the rope by the distance to the base of the cliff. The resulting number will be the number of rope lengths she used.
585 / 65 = 9

Hope this helps. Good luck! :)
