Answer:
5.85 kg
Step-by-step explanation:
At first, there were 3 climbers.
Equipment of 1 climber weighed 7.8 kg
So, equipment of 3 climbers weighed (7.8 × 3) kg
Therefore, total weight of equipments = 23.4 kg
Now that there are 4 climbers, and they are dividing the load equally,
Weight carried by each climber = (23.4 ÷ 4) kg
So, each climber carries 5.85 kg.
