You can put this solution on YOUR website! The 840 foot climb is part of a triangle with hypotenuse 1 mile. Try to do everything in feet, because the question asks for feet. A proportion will work.
1 mile = 5280 feet.
, ratios of the climb to the road distance.
The conversion factor is not really needed.
, easier, because now this relates climb in feet to road distance in miles. feet.
