Question

A tram moved downward 54 meters in 6 seconds at a constant rate. What was the change in the tram's elevation each second?

Answer 1

-9

Explanation:

I say this because, the change in this problem is a negative one. Meaning you change the 54 into a negative number then divide by 6. So, -54 divided by 6 = -9. And remember, if there is one negative number and one positive it will be negative. If two negative it will be positive.

I hope I helped! Sorry if I'm wrong!

Answer 2

9 m/s

Explanation:

To calculate the change in the tram's elevation each second, you must divide the given figures which is now the given formula of
`(meters)/(seconds)`;

`54` ÷
`6 =`

`(54)/(6) = 9`

Therefore, the change in the tram's elevation is 9 each second.
