Question

A glider is gliding at an altitude of 295 ft. An airplane is flying at an altitude of 46 comma 020 ft. How many times higher is the airplane than the​ glider? How many times higher would the airplane be than the glider if the altitude of the glider was only 156 ft​?

Answer 1

Hello!

Part 1
To solve this you divide the altitude of the plane by the altitude of the glider

46020 / 295 = 156

The airplane is 156 times higher

The answer is 156

Part 2
You do the same thing as part 1 but now the glider altitude is 156

46020 / 156 = 295

The airplane is 295 times higher

The answer is 295
