Nola hiked down a trail at a steady rate for 10 minutes. Her change in elevation was -200 ft. Then she continued to hike down fo
r another 20 minutes at a different rate. Her change in elevation for this part of the hike was -300 ft. During which portion of did she walk down at a faster rate? Explain your reasoning.
Her first rate was faster. The 10 minutes with a change in elevation of -200ft. In order to solve this you need to have the same minutes. In this problem, I just simply took the 10 minutes and the -200ft and doubled it. Now both rates have 20 minutes. The first rate would have gone -400ft in 20 minutes while the second rate was only -300ft in 20 minutes. I hope this wasn't confusing, and I'm willing to explain more.
Well you see you take the sector and tie it 3 times the radiants which will then answer the question that you seek from within the depths of bones and minds.
