29 minutes-  at a rate of 1,000 feet a minute, it would take 32 minutes to reach sea level (32,000/1000=32)but if you subtract 3000 from 32000 to remain 3000 feet above sea level, you have 29000 feet to descend which will take 29 minutes

Let

x-------> the time in minutes

y-------> the height of the airplane above sea level in feet

we know that

y=32,000-1,000x -------> equation 1

In this problem

For y=3,000\ ft

<u>Find the value of x </u>

Substitute the value of y in the equation 1 and solve for x

3,000=32,000-1,000x

1,000x=32,000-3,000

1,000x=29,000

x=29,000/1,000

x=29\ minutes

therefore

<u>the answer is</u>

29\ minutes

What does this mean 100 decreased by 77 mean
Daniel [21]

Answer: It just means 100 - 77% which equals to 23%.

Decreased means reduced or basically taking away a percentage of something. In this case it's numbers in math.

Hope this helps!

900 : 1

The linear ratio = a : 30a = 1 : 30

volume ratio = 1³ : 30³ = 1 : 900

ratio of larger to smaller = 900 : 1
