Question

Jeremy has heard a lot of people in the club talking about tackling a 950-foot rock formation. Jeremy has set a limit that they won't climb anything that takes longer than 7 hours, so they have enough time to travel to and from the place. Will it be possible to climb a 950-foot rock formation within Jeremy's time constraint? A. Yes, it will take 400 hours to climb.

B. No, it will take 7 hours to climb.
C. Yes, it will take 7 hours to climb.
D. No, it will take 400 hours to climb.

Answer 1

It will not be possible for Jeremy to climb a 950-foot rock within a 7-hour time constraint.

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine if it will be possible to climb a 950-foot rock within Jeremy's time constraint, we need to know the climbing rate. Let's assume that Jeremy climbs at a rate of 100 feet per hour. To calculate the climbing time, we divide the total height of the rock (950 feet) by the climbing rate (100 feet per hour), which gives us 9.5 hours. Since the climbing time is greater than Jeremy's time constraint (7 hours), it will not be possible for Jeremy to climb the rock within the given time.
