Question

4. A mountain climber needs to descend 2,000 feet.

He wants to do it in 4 equal descents. How far should
he travel in each descent?
A. 8,000 ft
B. -8,000 ft
C. 500 ft
D. -500 ft

Answer 1

C. 500 ft

Explanation:

If we want to make it all equal, we can divide the 2,000 ft by 4 because we have 4 equal descents.

2000 ÷ 4 = 500

He should travel 500 feet in each descent.
