Question

jackson hikes 220.2 meters up a mountain. if he is 60% of the way up, how tall is the mountain? a 132.12 meters b 280.2 meters c 367 meters d 13,200 meters

Explanation:

Step1: Define the problem

Let \( h \) be the height of the mountain. Jackson has hiked 220.2 meters, which is 60% of the mountain's height. So we can set up the equation \( 0.6h = 220.2 \).

Step2: Solve for \( h \)

To find \( h \), we divide both sides of the equation by 0.6: \( h=\frac{220.2}{0.6} \).

Calculating the right - hand side: \( \frac{220.2}{0.6}=220.2\div0.6 = 367 \) (meters).

Answer:

C. 367 meters
