A mountain climber is ascending up challenging section a a rate of 2 feet per minute.

what a wimp.

but you could start with

d = 2m

To find out how far the mountain climber ascends in a given amount of time, you need to multiply the rate of ascent (2 feet per minute) by the time spent climbing.

Let's say the climber spends 30 minutes climbing. To find out how far the climber ascends in that time, you would calculate:

Distance ascended = Rate of ascent × Time spent climbing

Distance ascended = 2 feet per minute × 30 minutes

Distance ascended = 60 feet

Therefore, the mountain climber would ascend 60 feet in 30 minutes.
