Question

a hot air balloon is at an elevation of 3,800 feet. If the balloon falls 40 feet per minute, how long would it take for the balloon to reach 2,000 feet?

Answer 1

What you have to do is subtract 3,800 to 2000 which is equal to 1,800 and than you have to divide 1,800 by 40 which is equal to 45



The answer is it would take 45 minuets hopefully this is helpful

Answer 2

It would take 45 minutes because 3,800 - 2000 = 1,800 and 1,800 / 40 = 45.

Hope this helps
