The following shows the process a student used to determine the number of yards in 3,218 meters. (1 mile = 1,609 meters)
(1 mile = 1,760 yards)

Step 1: 1,609 meters is being multiplied by conversion factor 1 mile over 3,218 meters equals 0.5 mile

Step 2: 0.5 mile is being multiplied by conversion factor 1760 yards over 1 mile equals 880 yards

Step 3: 880 yards

What was the error made in this conversion?

The 1 mile and 3,218 meters in Step 1 should be switched.
The 1,609 meters and the 3,218 meters in Step 1 should be switched.
The conversion factor should be added in Step 2 instead of being multiplied.
The conversion factor should be divided in Step 2 instead of being multiplied.

2 & 7

step-by-step explanation:

he climbs 300 ft/hr at a constant rate. the peak is at 1,500 ft.

when going up, he reaches 600 ft in 2 hours. remember, that he is going in a constant rate. divide 600 with 300:

600/300 = 2

assuming that he takes the same route back (meaning that it's a 1500 ft route back, you can solve.

note also that you are solving when he gets back to 600 ft after he reaches the peak.

first, find the amount of hours it takes to get up the peak. divide the total amount (1500), with the ft/her (300) to get the amount of hours (x):

1500/300 = x

x = 5

it takes jamie 5 hours to get up. now, he is returning down, and reaches 600 (his current destination). remember that he climbs at a constant 300 ft/hr. divide 600 with 300:

600/300 = x

x = 2

now add the two numbers together.

x = 5 + 2 = 7

jamie takes 7 hours to go up the mountain and reach his current position when descending.

(total amount/constant rate) = (time).

remember that it is a constant rate, so in total, when he gets back down the mountain, it will take the same amount of time as when he goes up. the total amount for the round trip is: 5 + 5 = 10.
