Complete Question

Maggie is rock climbing. After reaching the summit, she descends 14 feet in 213 minutes. If she continues at this rate, where will Maggie be in relation to the summit after 8 minutes?

Answer:

Maggie will be  [tex]x = 0.53 \ feet[/tex]  from the previous position

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The distance of descent is  [tex]d = 14 ft[/tex]

    The time  taken is  [tex]t = 213 \ minutes[/tex]

So she descended 14ft  in  213 minutes

 So she would  descend x ft in 8 minutes

   Hence

              [tex]x = \frac{14 * 8 }{213}[/tex]

             [tex]x = 0.53 \ feet[/tex]
