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.
Can someone please help/explain I'm very confused
is that correct?
heello is it
make a table of two columns
col. 1: time (minutes)
col. 2: change in height
entries will look like
0 0
1 -320
2 -640
3 -960
or whatever values you like.
oh my god i always gotta fail for you guys wait for tommorow when my grades come in for answers
To calculate the total change in altitude of the hot air balloon, we need to multiply the rate of descent per minute by the total number of minutes the balloon descended.
Given:
Rate of descent = 320 feet per minute
Total minutes of descent = 3 minutes
To find the total change in altitude, we can use the formula:
Total change in altitude = Rate of descent × Total minutes of descent
Substituting the given values into the formula, we have:
Total change in altitude = 320 feet per minute × 3 minutes
To multiply the rate of descent and the total minutes of descent, we can perform the calculation:
Total change in altitude = 960 feet
Therefore, the total change in altitude of the hot air balloon is 960 feet.
