A hot air balloon descends at a rate of 320 feet per minute for 3 minutes. Use integers to calculate and represent the balloon's total change in altitude.
3 min * -320 ft / min = -960 ft
To calculate the balloon's total change in altitude, we need to find the product of the rate at which it descends (320 feet per minute) and the duration of descent (3 minutes).
320 feet per minute * 3 minutes = 960 feet
Therefore, the balloon's total change in altitude is 960 feet.
To calculate the balloon's total change in altitude, we can multiply the rate of descent by the duration of the descent.
Given:
Rate of descent: 320 feet per minute
Duration of descent: 3 minutes
To represent the change in altitude, we can use the formula:
Change in altitude = Rate of descent * Duration of descent
Plugging in the given values:
Change in altitude = 320 feet/minute * 3 minutes
To multiply these values, we simply multiply the numbers together:
Change in altitude = 960 feet
So, the balloon's total change in altitude is 960 feet.
