Question

3) Use a form of d=rt to solve. Steven’s kite rose into the air at the rate of 5 fee per second. How many feet did it rise in 2/3 minute?

Answer 1

200 ft

Explanation:

change 2/3 minute to seconds

units must be the same!!!!

1 minute = 60 seconds

2/3 minute * 60 second/minute = 40 seconds

distance = rate * time

distance = 5 ft/sec * 40 second

distance = 5*40 ft= 200 ft
