an equation is ___= 12 and 3/5


The rock climber climbs ___ feet in 30 minutes

Respuesta :

add the 2 numbers then subtract 2 and you should  get your answer 

Answer:

[tex]x=12\frac{3}{5}\times 30[/tex]

The rock climber climbs 378 feet in 30 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

The rock climber averages 12 and 3/5 feet per minute.

That is, speed of climbing = [tex]12\frac{3}{5}[/tex] ft per min,

Since Distance = speed × time,

If time = 30 minutes,

So, the distance, x,  in feet covered by climber,

[tex]x=12\frac{3}{5}\times 30[/tex]

[tex]x=\frac{63}{5}\times 30[/tex]

[tex]x=63\times 6[/tex]

[tex]\implies x = 378[/tex]

Hence, The rock climber climbs 378 feet in 30 minutes
