Question

Daniel went hiking. He began his hike at an altitude of 120 feet. He climbed at a rate of 25 feet every half hour. What is Daniel’s Altitude after 6 hours of hiking?

Answer 1

Answer: 420 feet

Explanation:

Because Daniel climbed 25 feet every half hour for 6 hours, 25 feet is added 12 times to the 120 feet he already climbed.

120 + (25 × 12)

25 × 12 = 300

120 + 150 = 420

Answer 2

420 feet.

Explanation:

We have to first multiply 25 times 12 (because 6 hours is 12 half hours) which is 300.
300 plus his starting point, 120 is 420.

Therefore, your answer is 420 feet.
