4. A mountain climber needs to descend 2,000 feet. He wants to do it in 4 equal descents. How far should
he travel in each descent?
A. 8,000 ft
B. -8,000 ft
C. 500 ft
D. -500 ft

C. 500 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

If we want to make it all equal, we can divide the 2,000 ft by 4 because we have 4 equal descents.

2000 ÷ 4 = 500

He should travel 500 feet in each descent.

the answer is:

the answer is:

to solve the problem, we need to remember the quotient of power property, it's defined by the following relation:

if we have a quotienf of powers that have the same base, we need to keep the same base and subtract the exponent of the denominator power to the exponent of the numerator power.

so, we are given the expression:

then, calculating we have:

hence, the answer is:

have a nice day!
