Maggie is rock climbing. After reaching the summit, she descends 14 feet in 2 1/3 minutes. If she continues at this rate, where will Maggie be in relation to the summit after 8 minutes?
a)-24
b)-32
c)-40
d)-48

Respuesta :

Steps:
2 1/3 * 3 = 7
14 * 3 = 42
42 divided by 7 = 6
6 * 8 = 48
So, Maggie is 48 feet under the summit (-48). Therefore, the correct answer is d.
