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
To calculate the number of minutes it will take Jon to reach a height of 9,000 feet, we can use the following formula:
Time = (Height difference) / (Rate of ascent)
In this case, the height difference is 9,000 feet - 3,500 feet = 5,500 feet.
The rate of ascent is 500 feet per minute.
Plugging these values into the formula, we can calculate:
Time = 5,500 feet / 500 feet per minute = 11 minutes
So, it will take Jon approximately 11 minutes to reach a height of 9,000 feet.
