What is the constant rate that I am climbing at? Answer by Stitch(470) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! The constant climbing rate is the cahnge in distance divide by the cahnge in time.
The change in time from 1:00pm to 2:30pm is 1.5 hours.
Let climbing rate = R
R = 280ft per hour
You can also divide that number by 60 to convert it to feet per minute.
