Question

A mountain climber ascended 3 4 of a kilometer in 1 12 of an hour. What was the mountain climber’s ascent rate in kilometers per hour?

Answer 1

A mountain climber ascended 3/4 of a kilometer in 1/12 of an hour. The mountain climber's ascent rate is ; C. 9 kilometers per hour.

Answer 2

The mountain climber's ascent rate is calculated by dividing 3/4 kilometer by 1/12 of an hour. That is mathematically expressed as,
                                   ascent rate = (3/4 km) / (1/12 h) 
                                                     = 9 km/h
Thus, the climber ascended at a rate of 9 km/h.
