Question

toni begins rock climbing at sea level. she rock climbs up 5 feet every minute. how many minutes will it take her to reach an elevation of 50 feet? write an expression to show toni rock climbs up 5 feet every minute. use m to represent the number of minutes. \square \square = 50 5 m -50 -5

Explanation:

Step1: Determine the rate and variable

Toni climbs 5 feet per minute, and \( m \) is the number of minutes. The total elevation is the rate (5 feet per minute) multiplied by the time (\( m \) minutes). So the expression for total elevation is \( 5 \times m \) (or \( 5m \)). We need this to equal 50 feet.

Step2: Form the equation

So the equation is \( 5m = 50 \).

Answer:

\( 5 \) \( m \) \( = 50 \) (The first box is 5, the second box is \( m \))
