Given the statement:

Mark starts a rock climb when he is 1 mile above sea level. He can climb at the rate of 1.5 miles per hour.

Express the height of Mark above sea level in an expression.

Representation:

Mark height above sea level can be express as,

h = 1.5t

t = number of hours

We equate 1.5 with t, since the average velocity of Mark is 1.5 miles per hour.

Final answer:

h = 1.5t
