    Answer: 4.64 kilograms

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Four rock climbers started a climb and each person carried 5.8 kilograms of climbing equipment.

    Total kilograms of climbing equipment will be:

    5.8kg * 4 = 23.2kg

    A 5th climber later joined without equipment and the group decided to divide the total weight of the climbing equipment equally among the 5 climbers. This will be:

    Total kilograms of climbing equipment = 5.8kg * 4 = 23.2kg

    Total climbers = 5

    Each climber will carry = 23.2 / 5

    = 4.64kilogram
