The height of a hot air balloon is directly proportional to the time in seconds since it left the ground. After 35 seconds, the balloon is 245 feet in the air. how high is the ballown after 50 sec
To find out how high the balloon is after 50 seconds, we need to set up a proportion based on the given information.
Let x be the height of the balloon after 50 seconds, in feet.
We can set up the proportion:
(Height after 35 seconds)/(Time after 35 seconds) = (Height after 50 seconds)/(Time after 50 seconds)
Substituting the given values:
245/35 = x/50
Simplifying the proportion:
7 = x/50
Multiplying both sides by 50:
7 * 50 = x
350 = x
Therefore, the balloon is 350 feet in the air after 50 seconds.
To calculate the height of the balloon after 50 seconds, we can set up a proportion based on the information given:
Height / Time = Height / Time
Let's use "x" to represent the height after 50 seconds:
245 ft / 35 sec = x ft / 50 sec
To solve for x, we can cross-multiply:
35x = 245 * 50
35x = 12,250
Divide both sides of the equation by 35 to isolate x:
x = 12,250 / 35
x ā 350
Therefore, the height of the balloon after 50 seconds is approximately 350 feet.
To find the height of the balloon after 50 seconds, we can set up a proportion using the given information.
Given:
Height after 35 seconds = 245 feet
Let's assume the height after 50 seconds is "h" feet.
We can set up the proportion as follows:
Height after 35 seconds / Time in seconds = Height after 50 seconds / Time in seconds
245 feet / 35 seconds = h feet / 50 seconds
To solve for "h," we can cross-multiply:
245 * 50 = 35 * h
12,250 = 35h
Now we can solve for "h" by dividing both sides of the equation by 35:
h = 12,250 / 35
h ā 350
Therefore, the height of the balloon after 50 seconds is approximately 350 feet.
