An Elevator descends into a mine shaft at the rate of 5m/min. If the descend starts from 15m above the ground, how long will it
take to reach 350m deep from the ground?
1 answer:
First of all, assuming that the "ground level" is 0;
The lift is not starting from 0, so we also need to account for the extra 15 meters above the ground the lift is.
The total distance the lift would cover in the downward direction: 15+350=365m
Now, you know that the lift covers 5 m/min
Therefore, 5x=365 (ignoring units because they can complicate things)
x=365/5
x=73 minutes
Therefore, they would take 73 minutes to reach 350 m deep into the ground with a starting position 15 m above the ground.
Hope I helped :)

Answer:
698 apples
Step-by-step explanation: 78*9 equals 702. She sold 4 less than that so you need to subtract 4. 702-4=698 apples Berta sold.
The answer is 110 because if you multiply 8•16=128 and 18 cars are used, you subtract 128-18 which is 110.
