Question

At the bottom of a mountain, a ski lift starts four feet above the ground. At the top of the mountain, the lift is 1356 feet higher. If the lift ascends 1 foot for every 4 feet it travels west, how far west of the starting position is the lift at the top of the mountain?

PLEASE HELP ASAP ill be very thankful

Answer 1

5,424 ft.

Explanation:

For every 1 foot the ski lift goes up by, it travels west 4 feet. So, because we know that the lift will be 1,356 feet higher at the top of the mountain, all we have to do is multiple 1,356 by 4.

1,356 * 4 = 5,424 ft.

I hope this helps. :)
