Question

3) A skier traveled downhill at a rate of 12 feet per second. If he started at an elevation of 1,200 feet, what is his elevation after one minute?​

Answer 1

Answer: 1,920

Explanation:

12ft per second, so to find out his elevation after one minute you would have to convert from seconds to minutes. (60 sec = 1 min). So you would do 12*60 to get 720. And since he already started at 1,200 feet, you add 720. So 1,200+720 = 1,920 ft.

Answer 2

480

Explanation:

12 x 60 = 720

1200 - 720 = 480
