Answer:

63.5 feet/minute

Step-by-step explanation:

She first descended 1,024 feet in 17 minutes

Then she descended 500 feet in 7 minutes

The total feet descended is 1,024 + 500 = 1,524 feet

The total time to descend is 17 + 7 = 24 minutes

The average rate of change in altitude is  

Altitude descended / time

1,524 feet / 24 minutes

63.5 feet /minute

In math i have to find the percent cost of 6 prices but i'm not sure how to.
tresset_1 [31]
My answer got deleted for some reason, so here we go again. To convert a number to a percent, you multiply the number by 100. So if you had the number 2.4, you would multiply it by 100 to get 240%. After multiplying it by 100, simply add a percent sign, and you're done!
