A pilot is flying an airplane due to strong winds the pilot decides to fly 4,000 feet lower to avoid excessive turbulence it takes the pilot 3.5 minutes to make this adjustment interpet the quotient to describe the rate of change in the planes altitude give your answer to the nearest hundredth and remember the plane is descending
To interpret the quotient, we need to divide the change in altitude by the time it took to make the adjustment.
The change in altitude is 4,000 feet, and the time taken is 3.5 minutes.
So, the rate of change in the plane's altitude is 4,000 feet / 3.5 minutes.
Now, let's calculate this rate of change:
4,000 feet / 3.5 minutes ≈ 1142.86 feet/minute
Therefore, the rate of change in the plane's altitude is approximately 1142.86 feet per minute.
are you sure?
hes right
-4 * 7/5 * (-3/4) divided by 7/15 use PEMDAS to solve.
Bot?
The correct answer is −1,142.86
To interpret the quotient and describe the rate of change in the plane's altitude, we need to calculate the rate at which the plane is descending.
First, let's calculate the change in altitude. The pilot decides to fly 4,000 feet lower due to strong winds.
Next, we will calculate the time it takes for the airplane to make this adjustment. The pilot takes 3.5 minutes to descend.
To find the rate of change in altitude, we divide the change in altitude by the time taken:
Rate of change in altitude = Change in altitude / Time taken
Rate of change in altitude = 4000 feet / 3.5 minutes
Now we can calculate the rate of change in altitude:
Rate of change in altitude ≈ 1142.86 feet per minute
Rounding to the nearest hundredth, we get that the rate of change in altitude is approximately 1142.86 feet per minute (or 1142.86 ft/min). Therefore, we can interpret this quotient as the plane descending at a rate of approximately 1142.86 feet per minute to avoid excessive turbulence caused by strong winds.
