Answer:

378

Explanation:

The question is asking us to solve and write an equation to find the amount of feet he/she climbs in 30 mins

12
(3)/(5) feet per min: 5 x 12 + 3 =
(63)/(5)

(or 30 x
(63)/(5) = 378 too, many ways to solve this, possibly.)

simplify - multiply = 6 x 63 = 378

(30 x
(63)/(5) = 378)

(12
(3)/(5) x 30 = 378)

simplify - multiply = 6 x 63 = 378

(all ways work)

Bye, have a great day.
