    You can use proportional reasoning to answer this question.

    Set up a ratio with how far she traveled in the first 2 1/3 mins. Make is equal to x feet in 8 minutes. Solve using cross products.

    1r feet x feet

    2 1/3 min = 8 mins

    8r feet = 2 1/3 x

    2 1/3 2 1/3

    3 3/7r feet = x

    In 8 minutes, Maggie descended 3 3/7r feet.
