A mountain goat is climbing to the top of a large cliff. The cliff is 50 feet higher than it starts. It if it takes the goat 22 minutes to climb this cliff enter print the quotient to describe the rate In the goats evaluation if you answered to the nearest

Answer 1

To find the rate at which the mountain goat climbs, we can use the formula for rate:

\[ \text{Rate} = \frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Time}} \]

In this case, the distance the goat climbs is 50 feet, and the time it takes is 22 minutes.

So we calculate the rate:

\[ \text{Rate} = \frac{50 \text{ feet}}{22 \text{ minutes}} \approx 2.27 \text{ feet per minute} \]

If you round this to the nearest hundredth, the result is:

\[ \text{Rate} \approx 2.27 \text{ feet per minute} \]

Therefore, the quotient describing the rate of the goat's elevation is approximately 2.27 feet per minute.
