Question

A gold mine has two​ elevators, one for equipment and another for the miners. The equipment elevator descends 7 feet per second. The elevator for the miners descends 16 feet per second. One​ day, the equipment elevator begins to descend. After 27 ​seconds, the elevator for the miners begins to descend. What is the position of each elevator relative to the surface after another 11 ​seconds? At that​ time, which elevator is​ deeper? please answer a simple answer for grade 7

Answer 1

Equipment= 266 ft
Miners= 176 ft
Equipment is deeper

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Time for equipment elevator = 11 seconds + 27 seconds = 38

Time for elevator for miners = 27 seconds

Speed of equipment Elevator = 7 feet/ sec

Speed of Miner elevator = 16 feet/ sec

Distance traveled by Equipment Elevator = Speed * time

                                               =  7 * 38 = 266

Distance traveled by Miner Elevator = Speed * time

                                                = 16 * 11 = 176

266 > 176

Therefore, The Equipment Elevator is deeper than the Miner Elevator

Depth of Equipment Elevator = 266m

Depth of Miner Elevator = 176m
