Let's find how many inches each piece of cable will be, by finding how many feet are in 8 yards, then finding how many inches are in that many feet. 

Since there are 3 feet in a yard, 3 x 8 = 24. There are 24 feet in 8 yards.

Since there are 12 inches in a foot, 12 x 24 = 288. There are 288 inches in 24 feet. 

Now let's find how long each cable will be. 288/9 = 32. 

Each piece of cable will be 32 inches long. 

Hope this helped! If you have anymore questions or don't understand, please comment or DM me. :)

A hot air balloon went from an elevation of 4,064 feet to an elevation of 3,322 feet in 28 minutes. What
ELEN [110]

Answer:

<em>The air balloon descends 26.5 feet per minute</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Rate of Change</u>

The rate of change is a measure that compares two quantities, usually to know how one variable changes in time.

The hot air balloon was 4,064 feet high and, 28 minutes later, it went to 3,322 feet. We can calculate the rate of descent R by dividing the change of elevation over time:

\displaystyle R=\frac{3,322-4,064}{28}=\frac{-742}{28}=-26.5

Thus the air balloon descends 26.5 feet per minute
