2500 the equation i believe is 500x so plug in the 5 where the x is and its 2500

wait wut?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ur equation is 500x, since you are trying to find out how much did she decend after 5 hours and her rate is 500 multiply 500 times the number of hours, in this case 5 that will give u the final answer of 2500
