Question

Tyler is going on a hiking trip . At the end of the first day he has 5,250 feet left to climb . He plans to climb 500 feet each day

Answer 1

12 days

Explanation:

At the end of the first day he has the distance left to climb = 5,250 feet

He plans to climb the distance each day = 500 feet

Number of days to complete his trip =
`(5,250)/(500)`

= 10.5 ≈ 11 days

He has already climbed for one day, so he will finish his trip in 1 + 11 = 12 days.
