The correct answer is: h(t) = -5t + 500; from the table it is visible that the time difference is 5 seconds; the sign before 500 must be be "+", for we're talking about 500 feet above the ground.

We are given that the elevator is descending, so the coefficient of t must be negative. The elevator's initial position is 500 feet above the ground, so this is a positive value of +500. Therefore the only choice that fits these is h(t) = -5t + 500.

Alenkinab [10]

The number of half-hour sittings needed to watch all the shows by Devon is 11

Solution:

Given, Devon records 4 hours of reality shows on her DVR

she records comedy shows for 3/8 of that amount of time.

$\rightarrow \frac{3}{8} \text { of } 4 \text { hours } \rightarrow \frac{3}{8} \times 4 \rightarrow \frac{3}{2} \text { hours }$

Devon watches all the reality and comedy shows in half-hour sittings.

We have to find the number of half-hour sittings needed to watch all the shows

Now, number of half hour sittings is given as

$=\frac{\text { total time of videos }}{\text { time for hlaf hour sitting }}$

$\begin{array}{l}{=\frac{4 \text { hours for reality shows }+\frac{3}{2} \text { hours for comedy shows }}{\frac{1}{2} \text { hours for each sitting }}} \\\\ {=\frac{4+\frac{3}{2}}{\frac{1}{2}}=\frac{\frac{8+3}{2}}{\frac{1}{2}}=\frac{\frac{11}{2}}{\frac{1}{2}}=\frac{11}{2} \times \frac{2}{1}=11}\end{array}$
