The correct answer is:
Each climber is carrying 5.85 kg.
Explanation:
3 of the 4 climbers is carrying 7.8 kg each; this is 3(7.8) = 23.4 kg.
Dividing this equally among the 4 climbers, we have 23.4/4 = 5.85 kg each.
Answer:
Each carried 1.95 kg weight
Step-by-step explanation:
Given :Three rock climbers started a climb with each person carrying 7.8 kilograms of climbing equipment.
A fourth climber with no equipment joined the group The group divided the total weight of climbing equipment equally among the four climbers
To Find : How much did each carry ?
Solution :
Each person out of three is carrying weight = 7.8 kg
So, Total weight carried by 3 climbers = [tex]7.8 \times 3 =23.4[/tex]
Now A fourth climber with no equipment joined the group
Total weight is divided among 4
So, weight carried by each climber = [tex]\frac{7.8}{4}=1.95[/tex]
Hence each carried 1.95 kg weight
