an equation is ___= 12 and 3/5


The rock climber climbs ___ feet in 30 minutes

Verified Answer :

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

Answer:

\(x=12\frac{3}{5}\times 30\)

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 = \(12\frac{3}{5}\) ft per min,

Since Distance = speed × time,

If time = 30 minutes,

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

\(x=12\frac{3}{5}\times 30\)

\(x=\frac{63}{5}\times 30\)

\(x=63\times 6\)

\(\implies x = 378\)

Hence, The rock climber climbs 378 feet in 30 minutes
