Jon is flying an airplane.He is currently 3,5000 feet in the air and he is ascending at a rate of 500 feet per minute.How many minutes it will take him to reach a height of 9,000 feet
he has to go up another 5500 feet.
Divide that by 500, and it will take 11 minutes.
(9000-3500)ft / 500ft/min = 11 min
To find out how many minutes it will take Jon to reach a height of 9,000 feet, we need to set up an equation.
Let's use the equation:
Time = Distance / Rate
The distance Jon needs to cover is:
Height at which Jon wants to reach - Current height
= 9,000 feet - 3,500 feet
= 5,500 feet
The rate at which Jon is ascending is 500 feet per minute.
Now, let's plug the values into the equation:
Time = 5,500 feet / 500 feet per minute
Time = 11 minutes
Therefore, it will take Jon approximately 11 minutes to reach a height of 9,000 feet.
