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? Explain why or why not.

You would need to know the rate at which Jeremy climbs to determine your answer.

Answer: no Jeremys time is not constraint

Step-by-step explanation: The amount of minutes to climb up 1 foot of height would take around 2 to 3 minutes, however if you divide 950 with 2 you will get 475 minutes to climb, if we also convert to 475 into hours that will be 7.92 hours . so overall he will climb extra 92 minutes (i really hope this kinda helped)
