Solution

First, we need to find out how many stairs Rob climbs per minute.

He climbed 1000 stairs in 25 minutes, so we divide the total number of stairs by the total number of minutes:

1000 stairs ÷ 25 minutes = 40 stairs per minute.

Next, we need to find out how long it will take him to climb 280 stairs at the same rate.

So we divide the total number of stairs he will climb tomorrow by the rate of stairs he climbs per minute:

280 stairs ÷ 40 stairs per minute = 7 minutes.

So, it will take Rob 7 minutes to climb the stairs at Montmartre if he climbs at the same rate as he did at the Eiffel Tower.
