Question

In 2011, a professional climber scaled the outside of the Burj Khalifa, making it all the way to 828 meters (the highest point on which a person can stand) in 6 hours.

Answer 1

276 meters in the first 2 hours

Explanation:

Given that,

Professional climbers climb 828 meters in 6 hours.

Let us assume we need to find how far did they climb in the first 2 hours.

6 hours = 828 m

⇒ 1 hour = 138 m

So, in 2 hours,

2 hours = 138 × 2 m

= 276 m

So, the climber climb 276 meters in the first 2 hours
