elevation of 150 feet. What is the rate of change, in feet per minute, of Jamar's elevation?
A-700
B
-650
С
650
D 700

Answer 1

you would need to find out how much feet he dropped in the space of 3 mins by subtracting 2,100 and 150 that will give you 1950 then you divide that by 3 which count as your minutes and you get 650 feet per minute
