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. Interpret the quotient to describe the rate of change in the plane’s altitude. Give your answer to the nearest hundredth, and remember the plane is descending.(1 point)
The quotient that best represents the rate of change in the plane’s altitude is
feet/minute.
To find the rate of change in the plane's altitude, we divide the change in altitude (4,000 feet) by the time taken to make the adjustment (3.5 minutes):
Rate of change = Change in altitude / Time taken
Rate of change = 4,000 feet / 3.5 minutes
Simplifying this division, we find that the rate of change in the plane's altitude is approximately 1142.86 feet/minute (rounded to the nearest hundredth).
