Answer 1

Answer: Choice A, -1540 feet

----------------------------------

Explanation:

Multiply the rate (44 ft per sec) by the number of seconds (35) to get 44*35 = 1540

The answer will be negative to indicate that the altitude has gone down. If you put in a positive change, then the altitude would go up. So that's why the answer is choice A

Note: when you multiply 44 ft/sec by 35 sec, the "second" units cancel out leaving just feet.

Another note: if you want, think of the 44 as -44 to indicate that the plane is decreasing at a rate of 44 ft/sec
