Question

Which statement best defines the two quantities that are measured to find the rate at which an airplane descends? A) The quantity of time measured in minutes depends on the quantity of speed measured in feet. B)The quantity of speed measured in feet depends on the quantity of time measured in minutes. C) The quantity of distance measured in feet depends on the quantity of time measured in minutes. D) The quantity of time measured in minutes depends on the quantity of distance measured in feet.

Answer 1

The correct answer is:

C) The quantity of distance measured in feet depends on the quantity of time measured in minutes.

Explanation:

The rate of an airplane's descent would be found using the distance it descends and the amount of time that takes.

In this situation, the amount of time that passes causes the distance the plane descends to change; this means that the distance depends on the time.

Answer 2

The quantity of distance measured in feet depends on the quantity of time measured in minutes is the statement that best describes the two quantities that are measured to find the rate at which an airplane descends. The correct option among all the options that are given in the question is the third option or option "C". I hope the answer helps you.
