We need to find the descent of feet per sec.

To find this, use the same thing as miles per hour

Distance/ time=speed

Red: 20÷8=2.5m/s

Blue:24÷12=2m/s

Therefore the blue one descends the slowest

Find the unit rate of each by dividing distance by time:

20 /8 = 2.5 feet per second

24/12 = 2 feet per second

The blue parachute is falling slower.

Explain how you would estimate to subtract 189 from 643
bulgar [2K]
To estimate an answer to this problem, you must first estimate the numbers as well. 189 would round to 190, and 643 would round to 640. Now you would subtract 190 from 640, giving you 460.
