A balloon rises to 100 feet in 4 minutes and 125 feet in 5 minutes. Write and solve an equation to find the distance the balloon rises in 8 minutes. Use d for distance and m for minutes.

Write the equation and the answer separated by a semi-colon. Included the unit in your answer.
For example, d = 5m; 35 feet

Answer 1

See below

Explanation:

100 ft in 4 min = 25 ft/min

125 feet in 5 min = 25 ft min

so the height is d = 25 * m d = height m = minutes

25* 8 = 200 feet
