Explanation:

Question 22

Step1: Identify the rate and time

The rate of descending is 600 feet per hour, and the time is 6 hours.

Step2: Calculate the change in elevation

The change in elevation is the product of rate and time. So, we use the formula \( \text{Change in elevation} = \text{rate} \times \text{time} \).
Substituting the values, we get \( 600\times6 = 3600 \)? Wait, no, maybe the rate is - 600 (since descending) but the question is about the change, so magnitude. Wait, maybe the original problem has a typo, but looking at options, maybe the rate is 600? Wait, no, maybe the rate is 400? Wait, the image is a bit unclear. Wait, maybe the first question: "A group of hikers is descending a mountain at a rate of 400 feet per hour. What is the change in the elevation of the hikers after 6 hours?" (maybe the 600 is a typo). Let's assume rate is 400. Then change is \( 400\times6 = 2400 \)? But options are 600, 1200, 2400, 1000. Wait, maybe rate is 200? No, let's check the options. Option c is 2400. So maybe the rate is 400. So step 1: rate = 400 ft/h, time = 6 h. Step 2: change = 400*6 = 2400.

Step1: Represent the initial elevation

Alice started at 100 meters below sea level, so her initial elevation is \( - 100 \) meters.

Step2: Calculate the final elevation

She climbed 200 meters, so we add 200 to her initial elevation. So, \( - 100+200 = 100 \).

Step1: Start with initial weight

Peter's initial weight is 156 pounds.

Step2: Apply weight changes

• First week: loses 4 pounds, so \( 156 - 4 = 152 \)
• Second week: gains 2 pounds, so \( 152+2 = 154 \)
• Third week: loses 5 pounds, so \( 154 - 5 = 149 \)
• Fourth week: loses 3 pounds, so \( 149 - 3 = 146 \)? Wait, no, wait the problem says "loses 3 pounds the fourth week". Wait, initial: 156. Week 1: 156 - 4 = 152. Week 2: 152 + 2 = 154. Week 3: 154 - 5 = 149. Week 4: 149 - 3 = 146. But options are a.152, b.154, c.149, d.146. Wait, maybe I misread. Wait, "loses 4 pounds one week, gains back 2 pounds the next week, loses 5 pounds the third week, and loses 3 pounds the fourth week". So total change: - 4+2 - 5 - 3 = - 10. So 156 - 10 = 146. But option d is 146. Wait, but let's check again. 156 - 4 = 152; 152 + 2 = 154; 154 - 5 = 149; 149 - 3 = 146. Yes.

Answer:

c. 2400 feet
