For safety, each climber has 8 hooks when climbing the mountain. A large group of climbers climbs up a mountain and puts all their supplies in a heap in a cabin. One of the climbers wishes to know the number of climbers in the group, so he counts the number of hooks in the supply heap. If the climber counts h hooks, which of the following functions can be used to find the number of climbers, c(h), in the group?Choose 1 answer:(A) c(h)=64h(B) c(h)=8h(C) c(h)=8h(D) c(h)=64h
Q. For safety, each climber has 8 hooks when climbing the mountain. A large group of climbers climbs up a mountain and puts all their supplies in a heap in a cabin. One of the climbers wishes to know the number of climbers in the group, so he counts the number of hooks in the supply heap.

Total number of hooks: Each climber has 8 hooks. To find the number of climbers based on the total number of hooks, we need to divide the total number of hooks by the number of hooks per climber.
Function for number of climbers: The function that represents the number of climbers, c(h), is the total number of hooks, h, divided by 8, the number of hooks each climber has. So, c(h)=8h.
Correct function for number of climbers: Looking at the options given, the correct function that represents the number of climbers is (B) c(h)=8h.
