Using proportions, it is found that Nyle hiked 25 feet per minute.
What is a proportion?
A proportion is a fraction of a total amount, and the measures are related using a rule of three. Due to this, relations between variables, either direct or inverse proportional, can be built to find the desired measures in the problem.
The proportion that we want to find in this problem is the number of miles hiked per minute. We have that he hiked 250 feet in 10 minutes, as the negative corresponds only to the direction, hence:
v = 250/10 = 25.
Hence Nyle hiked 25 feet per minute.
