Problem

1. Maggie is rock climbing. After reaching the summit, she descends 14 feet in \( 2 \frac{1}{3} \) minutes. If she continues at this rate, where will Maggie be in relation to the summit after 8 minutes?

Solution

Step 1 :\( \text{Rate} = \frac{-14}{2\frac{1}{3}} = \frac{-14}{7/3} \)

Step 2 :\( \text{Distance} = \text{Rate} \times \text{Time} = \frac{-14}{7/3} \times 8 \)

Step 3 :\( \text{Distance} = -24 \)
