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
