Rob is on vacation in Paris, France. When Rob visited the Eiffel Tower today, he climbed 1,000 stairs in 25 minutes. Tomorrow, Rob will climb 280 stairs at Montmartre.

Question

If he climbs at the same rate, how many minutes will it take Rob to climb the stairs tomorrow?

Answer 1

To calculate the number of minutes it will take Rob to climb the stairs tomorrow, we will use the ratio between the number of stairs and the time spent climbing them.
Rob climbs 1,000 stairs in 25 minutes, so he climbs 1,000/25 = <<1000/25=40>>40 stairs per minute.
Therefore, Rob will need 280/40 = <<280/40=7>>7 minutes to climb 280 stairs tomorrow. Answer: \boxed{7}.
