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?
To find the amount Halley's height changed each second, we need to divide the total height decrease by the total number of seconds: 108 cm / 6 seconds = <<108/6=18>>18 cm. Answer: \boxed{18}.
To determine how much Halley's height changed each second, we can divide the total height decrease by the time interval.
Given:
Total height decrease = 108 cm
Time interval = 6 seconds
To calculate the height change per second, we divide the total height decrease by the time interval:
Height change per second = Total height decrease / Time interval
Height change per second = 108 cm / 6 seconds
Dividing 108 cm by 6 seconds gives us:
Height change per second = 18 cm/s
Therefore, Halley's height decreased by 18 cm per second.
To find out how much Halley's height changed each second, we need to divide the total change in height by the total number of seconds.
In this case, the total change in Halley's height is 108 cm, and the total time is 6 seconds.
To calculate the change per second, we divide the total change in height (108 cm) by the total time (6 seconds):
108 cm / 6 seconds = 18 cm/second
Therefore, Halley's height changed by 18 cm each second.
