I got 943 fpm using a calculator and basic trig. I solved for x which is climb rate, using tan (4.5 deg)= x /119 kts, then convert to fpm using the result times 6040 ft/ 60 min.

There is a pretty good website for aviation math here. It's hard to do math problems flying, and probably not advised, but this will help.
