A hot air balloon descends at a rate of 320 feet per minute for 3 minutes. Whats the balloons total change in altitude?

You would have to multiply 360 and 3 to get to 960. So that means for every minute, that the air balloon descends (360 feet) the total that it will descend will end up being 960 feet in just three minutes. Once you had changed the altitude it should be -960.

Ms.Sue is right, but the answer to the question is -960.

I LIKE CHEESECAKE TOO!!!!!!!

X3

why would it be negative instead of positive?

this is totaly off topic

O_O I DO TOO!!!!

I agree. . .

For everyone who is confused about how the 960 became -960 is that:

360=the rate it's going at
3=the time it's going at
360 * 3=960
but the question says it is descending so it would become a Negative

Thx MATH.

PPL DROP THE "DAD IS WRONG U R ADOPTED" THING!!!!
AND THE WEIRD RANDOM CHEESECAKE ONE

3 x 320 = 960, which would be the total altitude going up for 3 minutes, but it's going down, so instead of being a positive integer, it would be negative. the final answer would be -960.

hope this helps !! <3
