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.
if someone can help me i would appreciate it!!!!!!
The total change in altitude is -960 feet.
Explanation:
The rate of descent is 320 feet per minute. To calculate the total change in altitude, we need to multiply the rate of descent by the time.
320 feet/minute x 3 minutes = 960 feet
Since the balloon is descending, the total change in altitude is negative. Therefore, the total change in altitude is -960 feet.
