Question

What is the balloon's change in elevation after 3 minutes if it descends 800 feet
per minute?

Answer 1

To find the balloon's change in elevation after 3 minutes if it descends 800 feet per minute, you can simply multiply the descent rate by the number of minutes:

Change in elevation = Descent rate × Time

Change in elevation = 800 feet/minute × 3 minutes

Change in elevation = 2400 feet

So, the balloon's change in elevation after 3 minutes of descending at a rate of 800 feet per minute is 2400 feet.

Answer 2

• 2400 feet

Explanation:

To find the balloon's change in elevation after 3 minutes if it descends 800 feet per minute, We can simply multiply the descent rate (800 feet per minute) by the time (3 minutes):

Change in Elevation : ⤵

• ➥ Descent Rate × Time
• ➥ 800 feet/minute × 3 minutes
• ➥ 2400 feet

So, the balloon will descend 2400 feet in 3 minutes.
