After being exposed to an incredible shrinking machine, Halley's height decreased by 108 cm over 6 seconds. Her height decreased by the same amount each second. How much did Halley's height change each second?
Responses
Halley's height changed by 18 cm each second.
To find out how much Halley's height changed each second, we can divide the total decrease in height (108 cm) by the number of seconds (6).
To find out how much Halley's height changed each second, you need to divide the height change (108 cm) by the time taken (6 seconds).
So, to calculate the change per second, you can use the formula:
Change per second = Height change / Time taken
In this case, the height change is given as 108 cm and the time taken is given as 6 seconds.
Therefore, the change in Halley's height each second can be calculated as:
Change per second = 108 cm / 6 seconds
Simplifying this, you get:
Change per second = 18 cm
So, Halley's height changed by 18 cm each second.
