Question

For safety, each climber has 8 hooks when climbing the mountain. A large group of climbers climbs up a mountain and puts all their supplies in a heap in a cabin. One of the climbers wishes to know the number of climbers in the group, so he counts the number of hooks in the supply heap. If the climber counts h hooks, which of the following functions can be used to find the number of climbers, c(h), in the group? Choose 1 answer: A B c(h) F c(h) = h 64 h 00 8 Oc(h) = 8h O c(h) = 64h D​

Answer 1

B) c(h)=h/8

Explanation:

Each climber has 8 hooks when climbing the mountain. If there are c(h) climbers in the group, then the total number of hooks, h, from the group is: h=8c(h). We want our function to output the number of climbers, so we should solve our equation for c(h): h/8=c(h). The function that takes in the number the climber counted and outputs the number of climbers in the group is: c(h)=h/8
