Question

A roller coaster climbs 84 feet on the first hill then drop 60 feet down. on the second hill the roller coaster climb another 32 feet then drops 44 feet. what is te height at the end of the second hill ?

Answer 1

84 - 60 = 24
24 + 32 = 56
56 - 44 = 12

The answer is 12.

Answer 2

12 feet.

Explanation:

A roller coaster climbs the height on first hill = 84 feet.

Then drops down = 60 feet.

Height gained by the roller coaster = 84 - 60

= 24 feet

On other hill roller coaster climbs = 32 feet

Height gained by the roller coaster = 24 + 32 = 56 feet.

It drops again to the height = 44 feet

So the final height at the second hill = 56 - 44

= 12 feet

Therefore, height of roller coaster on the second hill is 12 feet.
