A mountain climber starts a climb at an elevation of 380 ft. above sea level. At his first rest stop he has climbed 182 ft., and by his second rest stop he has climbed another 208 ft. It is getting late in the day, so the climber starts his way down the mountain. If the climber descends 235 ft, how much does he need to descend to return to his original starting point?(1 point)
155 feet
78 feet
535 feet
235 fee
To find out how much the climber needs to descend to return to his original starting point, we can add up the amount he has climbed (182 ft + 208 ft = 390 ft) and subtract the amount he has descended (235 ft).
390 ft - 235 ft = 155 ft.
Therefore, the climber needs to descend 155 feet to return to his original starting point.
