Answer:

A. 50 minutes

Explanation:

Jan's change in altitude from her base camp to that altitude is ...

1250 -500 = 750 . . . feet

Dividing distance by rate gives time, so we have ...

hiking time = (elevation change)/(rate of change) = (750 ft)/(15 ft/minute)

hiking time = (750/15) minutes = 50 minutes
