Answer 1

Complete Question

Maggie is rock climbing. After reaching the summit, she descends 14 feet in 213 minutes. If she continues at this rate, where will Maggie be in relation to the summit after 8 minutes?

Answer:

Maggie will be
`x = 0.53 \ feet` from the previous position

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The distance of descent is
`d = 14 ft`

The time taken is
`t = 213 \ minutes`

So she descended 14ft in 213 minutes

So she would descend x ft in 8 minutes

Hence

`x = (14 * 8 )/(213)`

`x = 0.53 \ feet`
